  • Activity description

    Come spend an unforgettable day on our sailboat, enjoying the clear Cretan waters up to Dia Island.

    The journey will begin at the port of Heraklion, and the Dia crossing to the island will take approximately one hour.

    Dia is a small uninhabited island located north of Crete. It is about 7 miles from Heraklion and is administratively part of the Municipality of Chersonissos. It is 5 kilometers long, 3 kilometers wide, and 12 square kilometers in size. Paximadi and Petalidi are two small islets north of Dia.

    The south side of the island has four bays: the bay of Agios Georgios, which is Dia's only port and beach, the bay of Caparis, the bay of Panagia, and the bay of Agrielia. The bay of Aginara is on the east side.

    Dia is part of the European Nature Network (Natura 2000) due to the island's vital biodiversity, and it is a controlled hunting area. There are many protected species of flora and fauna, including the Albinaria retusa snail, the Pdacriserchardiischiebeli lizard, Oryctolagus wild rabbits, the well-known kri-kri, and plants like Carlina diae.

    While you enjoy admiring the horizon and the funds with the material we will provide, our captain will prepare you a meal. After lunch and some downtime, we'll take you to a deserted cove for another swim. Everyone is welcome to participate in this activity, including families, couples, and children. We prioritize safety, and the entire team is available to you throughout the day.

    You're on vacation... A watchword for this relaxing experience! So book now and join us in this adventure!
