A family vision meant to change the tourism model in Greek hospitality
Metaxa Hospitality Group was founded by Nikolaos Metaxas back in 1975, transforming Crete into a luxurious travel destination as a result of his vision of developing hotels that embrace authentic hospitality, sustainability and culture through the people, place and local society.
After four decades of continued leadership and success, Metaxa Hospitality Group has proven that dreams can become a reality only by committing to values, hard work, lifelong education and forward-thinking.
Metaxa Hospitality Group is today an internationally multi-awarded group of companies with more than 45 distinctions and remains a pioneer in the tourism industry of Greece by developing, managing and operating three resorts and hotels and a convention centre in Crete and Santorini.
Just before completing two major projects we continue to shape the modern tourism scene, we are proud of being true throughout the years to our core values and are committed to following those same values in our journey ahead.
Today, Andreas Metaxas, CEO, leads Metaxa Hospitality Group into a promising future where people, guests, environment, society, economy and culture remain the heart and soul of who we are.
