Begin your journey with a comfortable hotel pickup or directly in the charming Heraklion Old Venetian harbor, depending on the option you choose. Before you board your sailboat, soak in the sight of the ancient fortress. The trip to Dia Island takes about an hour, depending on the weather. Along the way, keep an eye out for dolphins while listening to fascinating stories about the island's legend and history. If you wish, you can participate in the sailing activities. After you arrive at Dia Island, enjoy free time to explore the crystal-clear waters. Go snorkeling, try your hand at fishing, go paddleboarding, or go for a hike on the island. If you prefer, chill out on the deck with a drink. After about an hour, enjoy a delicious Mediterranean meal. Feast on fresh Greek salads, tasty appetizers, and seafood pasta. Wash it all down with wine, beer, or soft drinks. After lunch, you'll have plenty of time to swim and enjoy some delicious fruit paired with a traditional drink called raki before heading back to Heraklion. If you take the afternoon tour, admire the stunning colors of the sunset as you cruise home.
