The famed Spinalonga Island rests in view, constantly beckoning with its promise of age-old tales and enchanting beauty. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has fascinated many with its long and seminal history, and a stay at
Domes of Elounda puts this ancient fortress just a sail away.
Catch a boat directly from the resort for a closer for a day trip to Spinalonga. Look into the rich history, exploring the empty streets and fascinating ruins of Greek and Turkish homes that became the setting for Victoria Hislop's best-selling novel The Island, as well as the stunning coastal landscapes.
Heritage, gastronomy and authenticity all come together in an unforgettable cooking class. Chania is known for its vibrant food scene that reflects the influence of its Venetian and Turkish chapters, as well as the earthy flavours of traditional Cretan cuisine.
In an ode to Greece's renowned flavours, you can take a cooking class at
Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort that not only teaches you Cretan recipes and methods, but pairs each dish with a story of its history. Pick ingredients from the family garden, cook in the old wood oven, and savour your creations along with a Cretan wine pairing.
