About Archontika Karamarlis Boutique Hotel
Guests arrive at this restored mansion in the Pelion hillside village of Makrinitsa, where stone architecture and mountain views set the tone for celebrations.
The boutique hotel welcomes small to mid-sized weddings with the intimacy of a private home, staff greet arrivals personally, rooms overlook terraced gardens, and ceremonies can unfold on the property's outdoor spaces with natural backdrops of olive groves and distant sea views.
Guests experience genuine Pelion hospitality rather than resort formality, with on-site accommodation allowing multi-day festivities.

Loved it. Great room with a nice rustic ambience and a spectacular view of the peninsula from the hilltop hotel. The complimentary Greek breakfast was delicious.
