As soon as the guests arrive on the yachts in Heraklio Old Venetian port, a small briefing concerning safety regulations as well as boat handling will be given by the instructor/skipper on the yacht. Ready to set sails for the nearby island of Dia! (around 6 miles ~1 hrs). Our experienced crew will help you feel comfortable while sailing (not motoring). Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you, and the silence, while the yacht moves only by sails.
Your skipper is a certified sailing instructor and will guide you thorough some secrets of sailing.
Everybody is welcome to participate, if you would like to!
We put our anchors in a protected cove of Dia island which belongs to the Natura 2000 project.
After a snack and a small briefing we take our masks and the special BioWatch cards and dive in order to observe and record the different fish species. While in the water, you will be aided by a waterproof identification guide, which you are free to keep after the activity; on it, you will be able to record the species you observed.
After this refreshing experience a delicious meal is prepared by your crew. Enjoy your buffet on board with a variety of organic salads and pasta with fresh mussels and salmon. An excellent dry wine (2 bottles per yacht, as we drink responsibly while sailing) will accompany your meal. Season fruit and local sweets will be offered as dessert! We spend the whole day exploring this island across the island and we enjoy our dinner on board.

We start the day by sailing to Mirabelo gulf. 34 miles of coastal sailing along the coast of Crete. We Sail to Spinalonga, the “island” with the rich history and spend the night in a quiet cove nearby, either Kolokytha or the well known Elounda.
