Questions about the venue
Can we hold the ceremony right on the beach?+
Yes. The resort has dedicated beachfront areas for ceremonies with direct sea views. The beach location means sunset timing naturally creates golden-hour photography.
Are all guests expected to stay at the resort?+
The resort can accommodate large groups with 215 rooms available. Many couples block rooms at a negotiated rate; staying on-property keeps guests engaged with activities and dining throughout the weekend.
What's included in wedding packages?+
Contact the resort directly at http://www.fodelebeach.gr/ for package details. Typical inclusions cover venue rental, catering, basic décor, and room blocks at discounted rates.
What's the water park situation during our wedding?+
The water park operates separately from wedding events. You can arrange private time slots or plan pre-wedding gatherings there; ask the events team about availability and pricing.
Can we do both ceremony and reception here?+
Yes. The property has multiple event spaces, beachfront for ceremonies, indoor and outdoor areas for receptions, eliminating the need to move guests between venues.
