Details
Meet us at Heraklion in Crete and be ready to discover one of its most beautiful bays thanks to our day sailing boat trip to Dia Island! Starting from the old Venetian port of Heraklion, we will sail in the direction of Dia Island for an hour. Throughout the cruise, you will see breathtaking scenery unfold before your eyes. Once we reached the island, we will drop anchor in a Natura 2000 cove.
In the bay, you will be able to swim and snorkel for 1.5 hours in a wild setting. You should be able to see colourful fish and other underwater species. Choose between a morning or sunset trip, each lasting about 4.5 hours, and enjoy a tasty Cretan lunch or dinner with fresh salads, local dips, and dessert. While enjoying your glass of wine and the local food, you will be able to admire the panoramic view of the island of Dia.
After your dinner and a last refreshing dive, we will head back to our starting point. On our way back, you may have the chance to see dolphins swimming and jumping for you around our boat. During the sunset option, you will also be able to admire the wonderful sunset, with its orange and pink gradient reflecting on the water.
