Sail from Heraklion to Dia Island on a cozy yacht with snorkeling, SUP, and a full onboard meal plus drinks and raki.

“Really nice sailing cruise to Dia island. Once you get out of the harbour, the fun really begins. We didn’t get into the water once at Dia, as it was a bit chilly. However, watching the sunset and admiring the rocky island was worth the price. The crew was competent and made us feel safe. The snacks were really tasty. The captain also put some music, made the trip back really enjoyable.”

The only issue we faced was the delay coming back into harbour which was around 30 minutes but was not the crews fault, but that of the harbour police. Overall a wonderful experience.”
