01 · In a sentence

Balcony Hotel in Planos 291 00.

Balcony Hotel cuts through destination wedding logistics by offering accommodation, dining, and ceremony space under one roof on Akrotiri's waterfront.

With a 4.8/5 Google rating, this 291-room hotel eliminates the complexity of coordinating multiple vendors across the Greek islands.

Guests can move seamlessly from pre-wedding preparation to celebration without transportation headaches.

A unique place overlooking the entire beach in Tsilivi. Very tasty breakfasts with the opportunity to spend time listening to the sound of the waves and enjoying the beautiful view. Standard hotel rooms, but they have everything you need. Very pleasant service and well-kept surroundings. Direct access to a small beach from the hotel. The nearest taverns and town center are no more than 1 km away.
