Tennis Hotel Crete with Style and History
Nana Golden Beach today boasts a long history: First opened as Nana Beach in 1985, the resort was extensively renovated and redesigned in 2021 – with a clear focus on modern comfort, sustainable architecture, and sporting diversity.
What remains: the beachfront location, the warm service, and the view of the endless blue of the Aegean. New additions include luxuriously appointed rooms, superb dining, and the best conditions for your tennis holiday in Crete – including professional sports infrastructure, well-maintained courts, and a resort dedicated to active recreation.
The area around Hersonissos combines Mediterranean charm with Cretan history. Sights such as the ancient harbor, the Cretaquarium, or the Natural History Museum of Heraklion also make the stay culturally enriching – for all age groups.
