Porta del Mar Beach Resort

A magical place, the best family and staff. Great setting, perfect holiday, relax, food and drinks. A little oasis of tranquility...lie down...read...sleep...drink cocktails or a cold beer or one of Maira's sublime Freddo Cappuccinos... Thank you Porta del Mar team for your consistency, generosity and friendship ❤️ especially Anna, Myrto, Kostas, Kleon & Fotis for taking such good care. And the chefs...love you guys! 🙏

We have just returned from the most beautiful holiday at Porta del Mar. It perfectly combines luxury and authenticity. It is family run and everyone works so hard to ensure you have the best experience possible. We have 2 small children and it was so wonderful to experience such a beautiful part of the world together. It’s a world away from your standard package holiday which is exactly what we wanted. The pool is stunning with a smaller shallower pool next to it which was perfect for our 2 year to splash around in. There is a small beach at the bottom of the cliff and you can walk across to a slightly larger beach through the shallow sea which was fun! There is also a lovely Taverna above the larger beach which does traditional Greek food should you wish to have a bit of a change but the food and drink at Porta del mar is also wonderful and we enjoyed mixing it up a bit. The sea is crystal clear and warm! The area is quiet and you can walk in to a slightly busier area in about 10-15mins but it’s still quiet and not too touristy. We loved that we were away from the hustle and bustle of a tourist resort as we always find these areas disappointing and lacking in the beauty of the traditional and authentic Greece but at Porta del Mar and around we felt we could take in Greece in all its beauty with an added touch of luxury! We hired a car on one day and the owner sorted it all for us totally hassle free. We went to a water park and then to Zakynthos old town and it was great to explore knowing we had our beautiful sanctuary to return to. The scenery is breath taking and the whole place is just magical. A truely special experience. Thank you to everyone at Porta del Mar for a holiday to remember forever xXx

It’s so relaxing and beautiful here. Lovely staff, food, wine, gardens, pool, sun loungers, beach…and complimentary paddle boards/kayak which are perfect to explore with along the shallow coast line. The accommodation is great, everything you need…beach towels, robes, slippers, fridge/freezer with ice tray. There’s a little shop nearby which is open 7 days a week for all your essentials. Everywhere takes cards, but if you use cash then take it with you or get it at the Airport on arrival, as the nearest cash point is a drive away, or use Porta del Mar’s complementary bikes!

Wow! What an amazing place! We have just retuned from a fabulous 5 night stay at Porta Del Mar. We visited for my sisters wedding. I found Porta Del Mar when originally looking for venues for my sisters wedding. As the wedding planner I exchanged numerous emails with the owners Tasos and Myrto, both of whom were excellent and answered all my questions. The location did not disappoint! We hired out all the accommodation and every one of the guests had a wonderful time. The accommodation is beautiful, myself and my family (husband and 2 daughters) had the two bedroom apartment, which had wonderful views and was close to the swimming pool. Our room was perfect and large enough so that we could all get ready together on the morning of the wedding. All the staff were lovely, and worked so hard to make my sister's day special. The food in the restaurant was amazing, our only regret is we didn't eat there more often throughout our stay! The beach was lovely and we spent a lot of time down there, the canoe and SUP provided were lovely touches and were well used by our family. All that is left to say is thank you so much to everyone at Porta Del Mar, you were wonderful!

Our seventh stay. We have been at this family run hotel right from the beginning. It has continuously developed. Beautiful houses and flats build in the historic Greek/Venetian style. All with breathtaking views on the Ionian Sea. You can cater yourselves with a well equipped kitchen in the houses or just use them as a hotel room since they are cleaned every day. There’s access to a private beach and the mild, clear water with water temperatures around 27 *C. In the afternoon a delightful northern breeze makes the lovely outside dining area with the exquisite food a perfect place to stay. But what always was most important for us was the friendliness of the Rigas family. Their warm, welcoming attitude and the relentless efforts to solve problems for their guests. Vi simply love this place. Anne Dorte & Arndt from Flekkefjord/ Norway

Most beautiful place ever seen. I’ve never had such a feeling, like in a luxury retreat. Rooms, complex, pool, sea and the nice family hosts make it an unforgettable vacation. The food and the wine is extraordinary.
