01 · In a sentence

Elafonisos Resort in Ελαφόνησος 230 53, open JuneSeptember.

Guests arrive at Elafonisos Resort to discover a waterfront hotel on Greece's southern Peloponnese, where the Aegean Sea frames every ceremony and reception moment.

The property offers direct beach access and seaside dining, allowing your wedding party to transition seamlessly from exchanging vows to celebrating under open skies.

A quiet hotel a little on the outskirts of the city. Good service, but there are some things that are a let down and there is, among other things, the air conditioning which was not good enough and also not possible to regulate and a simple breakfast
