About The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, Costa Navarino
The Romanos, Costa Navarino is the flagship of Costa Navarino on the Ionian coast — and the estate holds the largest wedding hall in this set: the Great Hall is 1,363.7 sq m for 1,188 at banquet rounds and 1,600 at a reception, with Orion and Cosmos at 432 each and twelve event rooms on Marriott's chart, all beside a long beach and two golf courses.
