Its game, set and match on Crete

With Wimbledon over, if learning to play tennis appeals or if you are a player looking to improve your game, why not take a break and head for Crete.

The Island of Crete is Greece’s largest and southernmost island. Take a few tennis coaching lessons at Aldemar Royal Mare Village’s tennis academy with seven clay court, coaches and a great club house.

Once you have perfected your game, make time to visit the award winning spa, the Aldemar Royal Mare Thalasso to indulge in a four handed massage or an oriental hammam. Alternatively you can loose yourself in the countryside, swap the tennis coaching and spa pampering for wine tasting and cultural visits.

Travel from Gatwick to Heraklion, Crete on 17 July. Prices start from £799 per person and includes return flights, taxes, transfers and accommodation based on two adults sharing a room on half board basis at the luxurious 5-star Aldemar Royal Mare Village for 7-nights.
