Ef Zeen: The art of living well
The Greek concept of the slow, good life characterises this dreamlike luxury resort on the north coast of Crete. Tropical vegetation, bananas and palm trees above the beach with a marvellous view of the ancient city of Chania. Enjoy elegant simplicity on this secluded, unspoilt stretch of Crete's coastline in complete privacy, while the old town of Chania is within walking distance. A car-free promenade lines the huge Venetian-era harbour basin. Cafés and restaurants are right next to each other here, making it a wonderful place to stroll while the sun sets colourfully behind the harbour entrance. The maze of alleyways of the old town with its many arts and crafts and sophisticated boutiques begins just behind the waterfront promenade.

"This makes swimming holidays even more fun: the loved ones on the private beach have a bell - so a refreshing drink or small snack is never far away. In general, the Domes Zeen makes it easy for its guests; you can be driven to the restaurant or your suite at any time in a golf cart on the extensive grounds by the hand. You will also appreciate the proximity to the old town of Chania. A half-hour walk will take you to the lively harbour basin, where the atmosphere is particularly vibrant at sunset."
