I’m clocking up the kilometres on a water rower overlooking a calm Cretan bay. It’s only 7am but the warm September sun is already glinting through the palm trees and the smells of breakfast are wafting up onto the gym deck from the restaurant next door.
Before my morning omlette though, a reviving dip in the sea to start the new day — or “noruz” as they call it here at Domes Noruz Chania (Noruz literally means “new day”), a sexy five-star, adults-only resort from award-winning Domes Resorts & Reserves, one of the fastest-growing luxury hospitality groups in Greece.
