What you can expect

  • After boarding, set sail across the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, heading toward the unspoiled island of Dia.

    Only 7 nautical miles from Heraklion, Dia is a small, protected island steeped in legend and rich natural beauty. According to ancient myth, Zeus created the island to protect Crete from danger. Today, it offers secluded coves, calm bays, and thriving underwater life.

    Upon anchoring in a serene bay, have plenty of time to swim in transparent waters, snorkel around rocky reefs, or simply sunbathe on deck. Whether you’re looking to explore or unwind, Dia delivers a peaceful and private atmosphere far from the tourist crowds.

    During your sail, enjoy a light Cretan menu, freshly prepared with local ingredients, accompanied by refreshing drinks. It’s a perfect opportunity to relax, connect with nature, and savor the authentic flavors of the island—right in the heart of the Aegean.
