Profound Legacy
When Nikos and Loula Metaxa dreamed up Creta Maris in 1975, it was a daring idea. There were almost no hotels on the Greek island of Crete, let alone a five-star resort. Nikos and Loula imagined a seaside village where travellers could experience the very best of this vast and varied island, from the comfort and privacy of a beautifully appointed resort. A civil engineer with a passion for antiquity, Nikos had the grit and talent to build his dream. His wife Loula, a collector of traditional textiles and gifted gardener, invested every detail with warmth, soul, and local colour. Still a family business, Creta Maris has expanded and evolved over the years, while remaining true to its founders’ vision: to offer heartfelt hospitality, consistently delivering the highest quality and variety of services, while respecting the local environment, community, and culture.
A genuine welcome, fine-tuned over decades. A glorious heritage, thousands of years in the making. Natural beauty, safeguarded for eternity. This is what Creta Maris stands for.
