The Nana Hotels, a member of the Karatzis Group, make a dynamic appearance at the World Travel Market (WTM) London 2025, the leading international tourism and hospitality exhibition taking place at ExCeL London from November 4 to 6, 2025.
WTM London, one of the most significant events in the global tourism industry, brings together thousands of professionals, tourism organizations, hotel groups, and investors from over 180 countries, serving as a key platform for developing international partnerships and showcasing the latest trends in tourism, technology, and sustainability.
Nana Hotels Proudly Represent Greek Luxury Hospitality
Guided by a commitment to continuous growth and the international promotion of Crete as a premier luxury destination, Nana Hotels presents in London its complete portfolio — including Nana Golden Beach, Nana Princess, and the upcoming Nana Royal in Analipsi Hersonissos, currently under development.
At the company’s stand, visitors and partners had the opportunity to discover the group’s state-of-the-art facilities, vision for sustainable development, and the authentic Cretan experience that defines the hotels of the Karatzis Group.
Nana Hotels were represented by Mr. Manolis Maris, General Manager of Nana Hotels, who held a series of meetings with leading tour operators, international partners, and tourism professionals, aiming to strengthen strategic collaborations and explore new development opportunities.
Strong Investments and Strategic Growth by the Karatzis Group
This year’s participation in WTM London coincides with a period of intense investment activity for the Karatzis Group, which is advancing landmark projects in Crete’s hotel and tourism sector.
Among the most notable initiatives are:
A complete renovation of the new luxury complex Nana Royal in Analipsi Hersonissos
The completion of new luxury villas at Nana Princess, further strengthening the resort’s ultra-luxury profile
The creation of the themed water park – Pantheon Waterpark & Suites, set to open in the summer of 2026
Since 1985, when the first hotel Nana Beach (today Nana Golden Beach) opened its doors, up to the addition of Nana Princess in 2018, the Karatzis Group has established itself as one of the most distinguished ambassadors of Greek hospitality.
The Iconic Pantheon Waterpark & Suites – A Project of Global Scope
In the heart of Hersonissos, in the enchanting area of Sarantaris, the Karatzis Group is bringing to life Pantheon Waterpark & Suites, one of the most ambitious projects in Greek tourism.
Spanning a total area of 40 acres, the themed park — inspired by ancient Greek mythology and deities — will offer a unique entertainment and hospitality experience, with an expected daily capacity of up to 3,000 visitors.
Pantheon Waterpark to Feature 15 Luxury Suites and Europe’s First “Aerial Islands” Attraction
The Pantheon Waterpark will include 15 luxury suites, while its flagship attraction will be NAVATU — an innovative complex of rides, water slides, aquariums, and “aerial islands” rising 34 meters high, a one-of-a-kind experience in Europe.
It is set to become the most advanced and thematically developed waterpark in Southern Europe, setting new standards in immersive entertainment and themed hospitality.
Strategic Extroversion and International Recognition
The participation of Nana Hotels in WTM London 2025 forms part of its broader strategy for international growth and the strengthening of Crete’s luxury brand.
The company showcases its new identity, investing in sustainability, innovation, gastronomy, and authentic hospitality experiences, with the goal of attracting high-end travelers from around the world.
As Mr. Manolis Maris, General Manager of Nana Hotels, noted:
“Our participation in WTM London is not just an exhibition — it is an opportunity to present the vision and new identity of Nana Hotels. Crete has all the qualities to emerge as a leading global destination for luxury hospitality — and the Karatzis Group is investing systematically in this direction.”
Crete at the Heart of the Tourism Market
The UK market remains one of the most important sources of tourism for Greece, showing consistent growth in arrivals and travel revenue.
The rising interest of British travelers in Crete further strengthens the island’s position as one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations.
With vision, consistency, and outward-looking strategy, Nana Hotels and the Karatzis Group continue to shape the future of luxury hospitality in Greece, while enhancing Crete’s international image as a destination of authentic experiences and exceptional quality services.
