REVIEWS

"Peaceful paradise & best wedding day"

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"

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..

“The best place for our marriage”

Porta del Mar was the best place for us ... to marry! All the paper-work was prepared carefully and to our full satisfaction. We stayed there for 10 days with our little daughter (one year) - and she was the darling of the staff. We will come back for sure! Read more..
