Start your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup or directly from the charming Heraklion Old Venetian Harbor, depending on your choice. Before boarding the sailboat, take in the stunning view of the ancient fortress.
The journey to Dia Island takes about an hour, depending on the weather. Most often, conditions allows us to raise our sails and use the power of wind. Along the way, keep an eye out for playful dolphins while listening to captivating tales about the island’s history and legends. Feel free to join in on the sailing activities if you’d like!
Upon arrival at Dia Island, enjoy plenty of free time to explore its crystal-clear waters. Go snorkeling, try paddleboarding, fish, or take a scenic hike. Alternatively, relax on deck with a refreshing drink.
Once you’ve had time to explore, indulge in a delicious Mediterranean meal featuring fresh salads, savory appetizers, and plenty of flavors to enjoy. Pair your meal with wine or soft drinks.
After lunch, take some time to swim and enjoy fresh fruit paired with a glass of traditional raki. As your day comes to a close, sail back to Heraklion, and if you're on the afternoon tour, soak in the stunning sunset views.
When back on port, our crew will accompany you to your transfer or the meeting point.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard for an unforgettable experience!
