Wedding Comments


Steve and Verena September 2010
An absolute perfect honeymoon and most likely the best vacation we've ever had. Porta del Mar is a secluded getaway that will strip away a years worth of rat race tension within a day. The entire property was beautiful....flowers, massive palms, banana plants...i must have spent hours gazing at the hummingbirds collecting nectar from the hibiscus flowers on our terrace (while i lazily consumed my own nectar: Callinico- Ampelo Ravdi....quite a nice white wine we found at a local vineyard).
Compliments to Tasos and family for creating this gem with an impressive attention to detail. We've been back for more than 2 weeks now and people are still commenting on how relaxed we look.

My new wife and I arranged to have our wedding at 'Porta Del Mar' following a recommendation from a colleague of mine and a bit of research. What we got was a piece of paradise to hold the perfect wedding. On arrival, Tasos met us at 5am and provided coffee and tea and a very warm welcome. The grounds were breath taking and the atmosphere was extremely laid back. We had a great weeklong build up to our wedding and Tasos, Pavlina and their family made us feel so welcome and at ease. They catered to 30+ guests and gave us a day (and party) to remember.

The traditional stone villas are stunning, the grounds were maintained beautifully and Pavlina decorated our villa and the grounds on the day of our wedding. We truly felt spoiled and the personal attention to detail made us feel really special. We could really not speak highly enough of this resort or it’s owners and we would not hesitate to recommend Porta Del Mar to anyone, be it for a week of complete R&R or for an occasion such as a wedding.

Personally, My wife and I, would like to thanks Tasos, Pavlina, Elina, Kostas and their employees for all the effort they made to ensure everything was organised whilst we simply enjoyed our holiday. Nothing was a bother and we can not wait to come back. My new in-laws have already arranged to return early next year.

Thank you again for everything!!
Wesley and Becky September 2009
Dear Tasos, Pavlina, Elina (gorgeous!) and family
We would just like to say thank you so very much for making our wedding the most relaxing, beautiful and perfect day and week we could ever imagine. Everyone had an absolutely fantastic time saying it was the best holiday they ever had. We can\'t thank you enough for all the hard work you put into making our wedding day everything we wanted and more.
The food was amazing, the villas are gorgeous and you as a family are perfect hosts. Wesley and I loved every second of the wedding day and thanks to your recommendations we have the most beautiful photos to look back on.
Im sure you will have many members of our families returning to holiday with you, Wesley and I are certain to come back in the future to your paradise.

Thank you so much again, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

All our love and appreciation
