Sports travel bucket list: play tennis at Kalimera Kriti resort in Greece

The Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort, a five-star property on the island of Crete, is a world-class sports resort that’s home to the largest tennis and padel centre in Greece.

Located on the island’s northeastern coast and offering breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea, Kalimera Kriti boasts a selection of rooms and bungalows, sandy beaches, swimming pools, health and wellbeing facilities, plus restaurants and bars.  

For sports travellers, the main highlight is the tennis and padel centre, which was upgraded in 2023. Together with Patricio Travel – a specialised tour operator for tennis, padel and fitness travel – and other partners such as Wilson, the Patricio World-Class Tennis Center Crete has 20 real clay courts, six artificial grass courts, five padel courts, and a Wilson Pro Shop. 

Qualified and experienced coaches are on-site throughout the year, providing tennis and padel training for adults and children – regardless of age and level – in group or individual courses. 

Highlights for all sports guests booking through Patricio Travel include exclusive dining options and reduced single room supplements during the sports season in spring and autumn. Additionally, there are specially tailored packages for groups, high group discounts are granted, and the necessary training materials are provided.

The resort caters to both relaxation and active pursuits with an array of facilities. For swimmers there’s two outdoor freshwater swimming pools, one of which is Olympic-sized, plus an adults’ pool, children’s pool and a baby pool. An indoor freshwater swimming pool is heated between April and October.

Guests can keep fit at the state-of-the-art Fitness First Studio or go to the water sports centre to hire pedalos, canoes, jet skis and standup paddleboards. Other activities on offer at Kalimera Kriti include beach sports on the resort’s two private sandy beaches, as well as facilities for football, volleyball, yoga and pilates.
