Our crew will meet 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,the beautiful 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. Our trip there lasts almost one hour.
We set anchor on either Agios Georgios or Panagia bay (depending on the weather conditions), which are located on the south part of the island. Both coves are known for their green, crystal waters surrounded by the protected wildlife, like the medium sized “Falco Eleonorae” the lizard Podarcis erchardii schiebeli, the wild goat Capra Aegagrus Cretica and the monkseal Monachus monachus.

For about one hour and a half, you will enjoy these beautiful water with swimming, snorkeling or sunbathing! Cool refreshments and seasonal fruit will accompany the fun!

After your lunch and perhaps after a quick dive, we will set our sails back to Heraklion port. Have your cameras ready in case we spot some of our lovely mammal friends, the dolphins.
