Our crew will meet you at the Old Venetian port and welcome you on board, where you will be given a briefing about safety and boat handling. We set our sails and we are off to our destination, Dia island.

Dia is an uninhabited island, 7 nautical miles north of Heraklion and is protected by the Natura 2000 project because of its biodiversity.

First stop is Agrilia Bay, one of the remote beaches of the island where we can avoid the crowds. You have the chance to enjoy your first swim, snorkel or relax with a cool refreshment and fresh fruit for about an hour. We continue to Panagia cove, a bay with green, crystal waters.

Last stop is Agios Georgios, one of the most popular crystal clear beaches on the island. A small history fact, is that this well-protected cove was one of the major Minoan ports, according to Jacques-Yves Cousteau who discovered some of its remains in 1976.
As you will have plenty of time for another refreshing dive, our skipper and host will prepare a delicious lunch made exclusively from fresh and local ingredients.

After this delicious lunch, we set sails back to Heraklion port, get prepared we may spot some of our lovely mammal friends, the dolphins.
