Chania is the up-and-coming place to be in the Med and has quickly become a great alternative to destinations like Mykonos, Ibiza and Bodrum. This hot spot simmers with classy bars, local & international cuisine restaurants and vibrant beach clubs – perfect for those seeking a lively and elegant time. So dress up, go out, and explore the area. You can get your pre-dinner drinks in one of the numerous bars, dine in one of the many restaurants and dance in the stylish nightclubs of Aghia Marina under the moonlight.

Though the city centre is brimming with new hot spots, a visit in the Old Town feels like time travel. East meets West in a blend of Oriental, Venetian and Greek architectures. Explore the maze of cobbled alleys, numerous craft shops and noisy flea markets. The long promenade with the Egyptian lighthouse, the Venetian port and the old ship arsenals, is ideal for romantic morning walks or at atmospheric night stroll. The images of fishermen clearing their nets from their morning catch, while fresh Greek coffee wafts through the air, will stay imprinted in your memory.

Wider Chania is also world famous for its beaches, gorges and wildlife. The world-famous pink sandy beach of Elafonissi, the white sandy beach of Balos, the palm forest beach of Preveli, the emerald beach of Falasserna and the UNESCO biosphere reserve of ‘Samaria Gorge’ are all within a 1-1.5 hour drive from the hotel and are all worth exploring.

Welcome to the most luxurious hotel in Chania - the Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection 5*. This new hotel is sister to the award-recipient Domes of Elounda Resort on the other side of the island and promises the same indulgent luxury and beautiful design. Its architecture is inspired by the city's Venetian past, whilst interiors are a lofty, modern affair with sleek designer furnishings.

Adults only, stylish and elegant, Domes Noruz Chania 5* is a great choice for couples seeking relaxation and pampering. Its 83 rooms all come with private pools or Jacuzzis, perfect for a little seclusion. Alternatively, if you prefer you can hang out by the main pool, facing the sea, and cooling down at the swim up Juice Bar when the mood strikes.

The hotel offers two zones – each overlooking a separate freshwater swimming pool. The Quiet Zone swimming pool is an ideal retreat for those seeking solitude and relaxation, whilst the seafront Vibrant Zone swimming pool is the centre of social activity in the hotel thanks to "Raw Bar" - an all-day sushi & champagne bar by Moët & Chandon, where chill-out tunes fill the air during the Daily Sunset Cocktail Hour.

If you want to stay active chose from yoga, an outdoor gym, a 24-hour fitness centre, personal training or beach jogging and then ease tired muscles at the serene spa. The beach bar by Bombay Sapphire offers an extended Gin List – ask any of the Gin Experts behind the bar for recommendations or facts about your favourite drink. From time to time, the hotel hosts famous DJs, stand-up comedians, revered mixologists, and pop parties and events. After an aperitif, head for the Zeen Restaurant - an all-day dining restaurant offering Cretan fusion cuisine using local organic produce.
