Description
Set sail from Heraklion’s historic Old Venetian port on a small-group sailing adventure to the uninhabited Dia Island, just off the northern coast of Crete, Greece. After a warm welcome and safety briefing from your professional crew, you’ll glide across the sparkling Aegean Sea, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere and learning about eco-friendly sailing practices.
As you approach Dia Island, a protected Natura 2000 site, marvel at its rich biodiversity and crystal-clear waters. Your skipper will anchor in either Agios Georgios or Panagia bay, depending on the weather, where you’ll have the chance to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on deck surrounded by stunning natural scenery.
Discover the island’s unique wildlife, from rare birds and wild goats to endemic rabbits and, if you’re lucky, the elusive monk seal. The crew is always happy to share stories about Dia’s fascinating history and local myths, making your visit both informative and memorable.
Enjoy unlimited refreshments and fresh seasonal fruit while you unwind or socialize with fellow travelers. After working up an appetite, savor a delicious warm lunch prepared on board using local ingredients, with vegetarian options available upon request.
After your meal, take a final dip in the inviting waters or try stand-up paddleboarding before the return journey to Heraklion. Keep your camera ready for possible dolphin sightings as you sail back to port. Spaces fill quickly, so check availability and book your spot on this unforgettable Cretan sailing experience today!
