Itinerary

••• Sail to Dia Island: Snorkel, Swim & Savor a Fresh Meal ••• Join us on a mythical escape from Heraklion, sailing across the Mediterranean to the enchanting Dia Island! Aboard our luxurious sailing yachts, you'll embark on a one-hour sail through the breezy Cretan Sea, feeling the ocean swell and the refreshing salty spray. Upon reaching Dia, we'll anchor in the peacefull, wave-protected St. George's Bay, just off the shore. You'll have over an hour to swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters, explore the seabed with the provided snorkeling gear, or try your hand at fishing. You can engage in the offered activities or simply relax onboard under the Greek sun. Enjoy local drinks and sip a glass of Cretan wine as you unwind. Once the meal is ready, gather around on the deck to savor a plentiful lunch. An hour later, the crew will prepare for the return journey, and it will be your time to sit back and bask in the sun. ••• Dia ••• Dia Island is a serene, uninhabited islet off the coast of Heraklion, rich in natural beauty and history. With its crystal-cleat waters, rugged landscapes, and diverse wildlife, it's the perfect destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
