While we dream of our next tennis holiday in the south, or perhaps are already planning it, the Patricio World Class Tennis Center . The beautiful complex of the Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village has been undergoing expansion since the end of last year, adding a remarkable 20 new clay courts and two padel courts. Together with the existing six artificial turf courts , it will offer a tennis facility that is second to none and simply perfect for a tennis holiday. Over the next few weeks, we want to take you along on the Patricio Travel "tennis construction site" and report on the current progress in our construction diary . Here's a sneak peek: the project is right on schedule, so you start playing on the new top-of-the-line facility as early as April 1, 2023 ! It's incredible what can be achieved in such a short time!
"We are more than satisfied" – these are the words of Wolfgang Riedl, Managing Director of Patricio Travel, after he personally played on the first brand-new courts of the Patricio World Class Tennis Center the week before last. "The courts are of incredibly high quality and play exceptionally well." It goes without saying that the Patricio boss was particularly critical during his "court test." After all, he knows all too well that many of his tennis guests are also demanding when it comes to court quality. And rightly so!
To ensure the courts remain in top condition during your tennis holiday in Crete, an excellent irrigation system has been installed. Combined with the court construction, the drainage system, and well-trained groundskeepers, nothing stands in the way of continuous playing enjoyment.
So we can proceed with full motivation and optimism towards the completion of the 20 new clay courts . And you'll be able to play on them in the not-too-distant future.





A tremendous amount has been accomplished since construction began at the end of 2022. The first of the 20 new clay courts are already covered with red clay. The drone video beautifully showcases everything that is still under construction and highlights the fantastic location of the courts within the resort.





We're really looking forward to hearing what the Patricio Travel team will have to report after their visit at the end of the month. Because during this visit, the yellow balls will be flying over the net for the very first time on the first completed courts! Exciting!
