"Peaceful paradise & best wedding day"

SABIJN L July 2016

We stayed at PdM for 2 weeks in June 2016 and it was absolutely brilliant. We spent our time there with friends and family as we'd rented out all 8 villas for our wedding. The owners, Tasos and Pavlina, are wonderful and will do anything to make your holiday memorable. Their son, Kostas, runs the Cafe Del Mar and their daughter, Elina, has a craft shop on site. They are all super friendly and very helpful. Read more...

"My perfect Greek Wedding"

EVE July 2016

Thank you to all the porta del mar team for helping us organise and provide the most perfect wedding. We spent a whole week with 30 of our closest friends and family relaxing in this gorgeous rustic understated beach resort, where we had the whole place to ourselves. Nothing was too much for tasos, kostas, pavelina, Heleina or Anna, and they all worked so hard to make our week perfect! The food was AMAZING! Best Greek food- kostas's mousaka, the zucchini balls, prawn seranaki, backlava, mixed meze, all fantastic! We loved all the cocktails...especially the mojitos! Read more...
