Ktima Pisina
Ktima Pisina sits at the 5th kilometre of the Larissa–Trikala national road, Larissa 415 00. Ktima Pisina is described as a modern space for weddings, baptisms and social receptions, and its listing links it to Kapsioxas Catering, a team providing catering for businesses, organisations and events across Thessaly. Its listed opening hours show it open around the clock every day. Ask whether the catering is included in the venue hire or quoted separately, since that changes the budget shape. Best for: families who want catering and venue under one roof.
Spitiko Fagito Kapsiochas
Spitiko Fagito Kapsiochas is on Mandilara 26, Larisa 412 22. Spitiko Fagito Kapsiochas combines Kapsiochas Catering with a dedicated event space, and the listing says the team cooks for businesses, organisations and events across Thessaly using fresh ingredients. The business also runs as a restaurant serving daily meals, and its occasions include baptism receptions and memorial receptions. Ask how the room is separated from regular restaurant service on the day. Best for: a baptism lunch in town where the food is the point.
Olympus Breeze Luxury Pool Villa Up to 22 Guests
Olympus Breeze is on the 4th km of the Larisa–Mavrovounio road, Larissa 413 34. Olympus Breeze Luxury Pool Villa Up to 22 Guests is presented as a luxury pool villa accommodating up to 22 guests, with outdoor areas described as suitable for social events and private gatherings. The listing notes wooden floors, bright interiors, six independent WCs and parking for up to ten vehicles. Ask what the 22-guest figure covers, since a baptism party with children can pass it quickly. Best for: a small, private christening gathering rather than a large reception.
Las Ramblas Coffeebar
Las Ramblas Coffeebar is at Apollonos 8, Larisa 412 22. Las Ramblas Coffeebar is an all-day restaurant and breakfast spot that also provides social events services, including coffee catering, bar catering, brunch catering and food catering for weddings, baptisms and parties. Its listed hours are daily from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Ask whether a baptism booking means exclusive use of the space or a reserved section. Best for: a daytime or brunch-style baptism table in Larisa.
Grecotel Larissa Imperial
Grecotel Larissa Imperial is at 182 Farsalon Street, Larissa 413 35. Grecotel Larissa Imperial is a luxury hotel with a restaurant, bar, spa, gym and pools, and its listing describes versatile venues and grand ballrooms for events including weddings, conferences and corporate presentations. Accommodation includes rooms and suites, which matters if godparents and relatives are travelling. Ask which ballroom or space a baptism would use, and whether it can be set with a children's area. Best for: out-of-town guests who want to stay where the reception happens.
Ktima Karatzou
Ktima Karatzou is on the 4th km of the Larisa–Mavrovounio road, Larisa 413 34. Ktima Karatzou is listed as an event venue, restaurant and wedding hall, open daily from 9:00 to 22:00, and its occasions include baptism receptions alongside weddings and name day celebrations. The listing places it on a main route out of the city, and says to contact the venue directly for menus, capacity or event arrangements. Ask whether the 22:00 closing time is fixed or can be extended for an evening baptism. Best for: a seated, dining-based baptism celebration outside the centre.
Ktima Dioni
Ktima Dioni is on the 10th km of the Larissa–Ampelonas road, Larissa 415 00. Ktima Dioni is listed as a wedding hall, open 24 hours a day according to its listed hours, with occasions that include baptism receptions. The listing gives no information about capacity, services, catering or event packages, so the first call is the one that tells you whether it fits. Ask what the venue provides in-house and what you'd need to bring in. Best for: planners who are comfortable building the reception from scratch.
Kivotos - Galanis Nikos
Kivotos - Galanis Nikos is at Vermiou 2, Larisa 414 47. Kivotos - Galanis Nikos is an event venue and entertainment centre where, according to its listing, weddings, baptisms and birthdays can take place. It operates daily in two periods, from 12:00 to 2:30 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. Ask which period suits a baptism that follows a morning service, and whether both are available on your date. Best for: families who want a choice of a midday or evening slot.

A short checklist before you call any of them:
- Count adults and children separately, and ask the venue which number it prices on.
- Ask what the hire includes: furniture, linen, service staff, cake table, sound.
- Ask whether the space is exclusive to you or shared with other bookings.
- Ask about access: parking, step-free routes, and room for a pram or pushchair.
- Ask what the venue needs from the parish or the municipality, and who confirms it.
- Confirm current requirements with the venue, the parish and the competent municipality before you commit, since practices and paperwork vary.
Warm-weather baptisms and the ceremony side
If the baptism falls in warm weather, our guide to an outdoor summer baptism covers shade, timing and the kids' table, which shapes how early you want the reception to start.
Reading the quotes
Budget questions belong in their own conversation: baptism reception quotes should be read with adults and children counted separately, because that split decides most of the difference between two similar-looking numbers.
Larissa and its surroundings
Larissa itself is worth a look while you're choosing. Our Larissa destination page is the place to start for the city and its surroundings, and it's the page we'd open second, after the venue shortlist, not before.
Tell us your headcount, your date and your brief, and we'll pass them to the venues whose listings match. Include the number of children if you have it, because that single figure changes which of these eight can answer well.
Planning questions
Do these Larissa venues include catering, or do we bring our own?
Some listings describe in-house catering or a catering partner, while others give no catering detail. Ask each venue directly whether food is included, quoted separately, or brought in by you.
How many guests can a baptism venue in Larissa take?
Most listings here don't state a capacity, and one gives a guest figure that may not suit a larger party. Count adults and children separately and confirm the number the venue will accept.
What should we ask about the timing of a baptism reception?
Ask whether the listed opening hours are fixed, whether you get exclusive use of the space, and whether a morning service leaves enough time to set up before guests arrive.
