DJ Giannis Antonakis — DJ (Heraklion)

DJ Giannis Antonakis is a professional wedding and event DJ based in Heraklion, Crete, covering celebrations across the island and beyond. Known as DJ Colosseo on social media, he soundtracks weddings, baptisms, birthdays and private parties with a blend of Greek and international music tailored to each couple, family or guest list.

A DJ who reads the room

Every event is planned in close collaboration with the client. Giannis listens to your taste, your guests and the energy you want — then builds a custom programme that moves from welcome music and reception sets to ceremony tracks, first dance and a full dance floor. Whether you want a classic Greek wedding with zeibekiko and laika, an international playlist for guests flying in from abroad, or a mix of both, the music keeps moving with the night.

Pro sound, lights and atmosphere

Giannis arrives with professional sound equipment built for venues of every size — from intimate hall ceremonies to outdoor receptions for hundreds. Optional add-ons include stage and dance-floor lighting and a smoke machine for cinematic first-dance moments. Setup is handled end-to-end, so the only thing you need to think about is dancing.
