Greece’s Creta Maris Celebrates 40 Years of Hospitality with Weeklong Festivities
Crete’s luxury Creta Maris Beach Resort, located in Hersonissos, is celebrating 40 years of hospitality and quality services with weeklong events kicking off on May 1.
Founded by Nikos Metaxas in 1975, the family-owned business has since offered visitors to the island the finest services and the most memorable experiences of local culture, cuisine and hospitality.
Visitors will have the chance to experience local traditions with plenty of song and dance during the anniversary events between May 1 and 8.
The Creta Maris Beach Resort, part of the Metaxas Group of Companies, has operated since 1975 with a capacity of 680 rooms, suites and bungalows, six restaurants, seven bars, seven swimming pools, a gym, spa, children’s facilities, conference hall, and a great space for outdoor and indoor activities.
Besides a series of “firsts” including being the first hotel in Greece in 1995 to obtain the ISO 9001 International Quality Certificate, the Creta Maris is also among the few enterprises in the country to accommodate golfers with one of the largest golf courses in Greece.
Meanwhile, the hotel actively supports the local community by providing 92 percent of its positions to locals, and is always seeking new ways to enhance the tourism experience by annually reinvesting approximately 20 percent of its yearly turnover in upgrades and modernization.
