After two successful editions, the MT100 Kalimera Kriti Open 2026 returns for the third time to the breathtaking island of Crete – a true highlight on the international tennis calendar! Once again, the tournament will be hosted at the exclusive Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort, renowned for its unique blend of Mediterranean charm, top-class sports facilities, and warm hospitality. This year, the tennis complex expands to an impressive 26 clay courts, all offering stunning views over the shimmering sea. The setting creates an unmatched atmosphere – competitive, inspiring, and wonderfully relaxed. In addition to the world-class tennis courts, players can also enjoy brand-new padel and pickleball courts, making the event not only a high-level competition but also a vibrant sports festival full of variety and fun off the court. With excellent organization, a dreamy seaside location, and a crowd full of genuine tennis passion, the 2026 edition promises to be an event every tennis enthusiast should experience.
The tournament features three categories, covering age groups from 30+ to 75+. Another great advantage is the B Tournament, which guarantees every Patricio Travel guest a minimum of five matches during the tournament week.
The tournament is open to all players with a valid ITF IPIN number. The ITF tennis rules apply. If there are not enough entries in a singles or doubles competition, the tournament committee reserves the right to cancel this competition or merge age groups during the draw. In this case, the players concerned will be informed. In the event of bad weather conditions, the tournament management reserves the right to change the mode of play. The tournament organizer reserves the right to make changes to the announcement/fact sheet.
At the Kalimera Kriti Open you can play three categories (singles, doubles and mixed). In addition, we offer a singles consolation event, which eligible players can participate in. Players who lost their first match in the main draw are eligible to participate. So, each participant will have several singles matches during the tournament week. Players are automatically registered for the consolation event. There will be no consolation event in the doubles and mixed competition. Instead, a Patricio B tournament will be held exclusively for Patricio Travel guests (without ITF or LK ranking). Players who lost their second match in the singles main draw or the first match in the consolation event are eligible to participate. The tournament committee reserves the right to make changes.
Singles, doubles and mixed:
Women | 30+, 35+, 40+, 45+, 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+, 75+
