Orpheas Resort Hotel in Paralia Kourna 730 07, open JuneSeptember.

Orpheas Resort Hotel stands apart by offering beachfront ceremony spaces with direct Aegean Sea views—a rarity in Paralia Kourna.

This 4.4-star rated hotel provides 150+ guest rooms on-site, eliminating logistics for multi-day celebrations.

The resort's private beach access and dual indoor-outdoor event spaces give couples flexibility regardless of weather.

This is a really wonderful hotel. The staff are all charming and extremely helpful and the two pools are lovely. The food was good and there are plenty of other restaurants across the road to choose from also. Be aware the road is very busy and can be difficult to cross! The resident cats are wonderful and are fed by the hotel, which is lovely if you like animals (the hotel is pet friendly). I really enjoyed my week here and would come again. Thanks for having us Orpheas!
