Start your day with a sail to Dia Island — one of Crete's best-kept secrets. This uninhabited island, just 7 nautical miles from Heraklion, is protected under the Natura 2000 network for its remarkable biodiversity. An early departure means cooler seas, calmer winds, and the rest of your day free to explore Crete.
Sails up, engine off when conditions allow — the hour-long crossing is part of the experience. We anchor in either Agios Georgios or Panagia bay, where the water is crystal-clear and you might spot the Cretan eagle overhead. Swim, snorkel, or take the helm if you'd like. When hunger calls, our crew serves a fresh Cretan lunch on board with locally sourced ingredients.
