01 · In a sentence

Delfina Boutique Hotel in Paralia Kourna 730 07, open JuneSeptember.

Guests arrive at Delfina Boutique Hotel to discover a waterfront retreat where the Aegean stretches beyond your ceremony space and local Cretan hospitality shapes every moment.

The 4.3-star rated property sits directly on Paralia Kourna's beach, offering an intimate setting where your wedding party can transition seamlessly from ceremony to reception without leaving the property.

Stone architecture and sea views create the backdrop, while your guests experience the relaxed rhythm of a genuine Greek coastal village rather than a resort bubble.

Perfectly decent hotel. Staff decent and food completely acceptable. The main thing to be aware of is the proximity of the National road, and the fact you have to cross Tia very busy road to get to the beach or the bus stop. A bridge would really make life safer! I, personally, wouldn’t stay in this village again because of the road.
