Sorry. We are staying in the planos bay in Tsivili . We have a wedding planner over there who said the place where we get married will be suitable. We have checked the door sizes against the wheelchair for the room in the hotel but as for a hoist ... No luck as yet. Thanks

You have a problem here as Thos Cook etc will only be able to help as far as the travel is concerned. They may list the hotel as being "Disabled Friendly" but what you are asking for is for specialist service/equipment. Have you asked the wedding planner? If they are based there then I would expect them to have the knowledge of the specialist suppliers. Certainly the hotel are very unlikely to have such things.

you could ask the hotel direct if they know where you can hire a portable hoist.. info@planosbayhotel.gr
I personally do not know of anywhere that hires this equipment except possibly in Athena or Thessaloniki on the mainland
