What to Expect

Enjoy our sailing boat trip to Dia island, and spend a day discovering the sea with us! Our adventure begins at the Heraklion Old Venetian Harbor, where you will catch a glimpse of the impressive Koules Fortress as we glide past. The fortress, standing proudly at the marina's entrance, offers a fascinating peek into the island's history. Once we exit the main port, our sails are set towards Dia island, and you can relish the feel of the open sea while our crew shares intriguing tales about the island's legends and history.

Upon reaching the serene Dia Bay after approximately an hour, you will have the chance to dive into the crystal-clear turquoise waters. Here, you can indulge in various water activities like snorkeling and paddleboarding (weather permitting). Our crew is happy to assist you with equipment and serve a selection of drinks, so do not hesitate to ask. After some fun in the water, you can enjoy a delightful Mediterranean menu, featuring shrimp linguini and a variety of appetisers, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available. As you savour your meal, take in the beautiful surroundings.

After your meal, enjoy a refreshing fruit salad made from tropical and local fruits. You will have a few moments to relax before we set sail back to Heraklion. We look forward to welcoming you on board for an unforgettable day!
