Description

We offer our guests a pleasant day away from the shore. Dia Island is uninhabited, offering an opportunity to enjoy peace and nature. Choose between a private or a shared cruise, as well as how long you wish to sail on the water. The trip starts from Heraklion port and it will take us around 1 hour to sail over there, as soon as we arrive the guests can jump into the sea, do some snorkeling, we also have a paddle board to explore the area. Should the conditions help we sail with the wind and enjoy the magic of wind sailing. For full day cruise we will prepare you a nice traditional meal composed by a Greek salad, tzatziki and pasta with seafood (we can adjust the menu in case of allergy or any specific diet). For half-day cruise we will prepare you a nice pasta with tomato sauce. After dinner, we will set sail to another bay on the island, where you can enjoy a different landscape, swim, eat some fruit, and taste a traditional digestif called raki. In case the weather does not allow us to go to another bay we will just spend more time in our first stop. During the half day option, we will stay in our main bay for enjoying more time swimming and snorkeling. We start our trip back to Heraklion at the designated time given by the crew and set sail again if the weather permits. We are 10 - 18 persons max.
