Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort proudly announces a new three-year partnership with Tennis Europe, becoming the official resort partner of the continent's leading tennis organization. This collaboration underscores Kalimera Kriti's commitment to excellence in sports tourism and its position as a world-class destination for tennis and leisure in Greece.
Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort is delighted to announce the signing of a prestigious three-year partnership with Tennis Europe, officially becoming the organization's 'Official Resort Partner.' The agreement further cements Kalimera Kriti's position as a premier destination for international tennis and sport-focused travel.
A key feature of the resort is Greece's largest tennis centre: an outstanding stone-built facility equipped with 20 clay courts (including a 500-seater centre court), 6 artificial grass courts, and 2 padel courts, all set within a stunning natural landscape that overlooks the Cretan Sea.
As part of the world-renowned Helios Hotels & Resorts Group, Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort offers a distinctive experience on the north coast of Crete, comprised of three charming Cretan-style villages. In honouring the island's natural heritage, guests are invited to enjoy authentic Cretan hospitality and immerse themselves in a premium vacation experience across a beachfront property harmoniously spread over 240,000 square metres of Mediterranean gardens.
Kalimera Kriti CEO, Mrs. Anna Mantonanaki added, "We are proud to receive this recognition from Tennis Europe and view the partnership as a unique opportunity to showcase our brand-new World-Class Tennis Center to the global tennis community. Our goal is to strengthen our collaboration with national federations and the wider tennis world while promoting Crete and Greece as a premier tennis destination. We are confident that this partnership will pave the way for Kalimera Kriti to host several key Tennis Europe events in the coming years."
The partnership takes immediate effect. Representatives from Kalimera Kriti recently attended the Tennis Europe Annual General Meeting in Antalya, where they introduced the resort to delegates from the organization's 48 active member nations. The resort is currently nominated for 'Europe's Leading Sport Resort' at the 2025 World Travel Awards, reflecting its commitment to excellence in sports hospitality.
Tennis Europe President Henrik Thorsoe Pedersen said, “The island of Crete has long been an important location for Tennis Europe, having hosted many Junior Tour and European Beach Tennis Championship events, as well as major conferences. We are delighted to embark on this journey with Kalimera Kriti, whose facilities are sure to become one of Europe's leading tennis destinations.”
