From €80
Your own yacht and crew for a full day at Dia Island. Morning sail, Natura 2000 swimming, fresh Cretan lunch, and an unhurried afternoon on the Aegean. Private sailing from Heraklion.
Overview
A full day on the water changes everything. This private 7-hour cruise gives you your own yacht, your own crew, and the freedom to explore Dia Island at your own pace — no fixed stops, no shared schedules, just the sea on your terms.
Dia is uninhabited and protected under the Natura 2000 network. We anchor in sheltered coves where the water is impossibly clear — Agrilia Bay, Agios Georgios, or Panagia. Swim, snorkel, explore by SUP, or simply float while your crew prepares a fresh Cretan lunch on board with locally sourced ingredients. The afternoon light softens, the pace slows, and the return sail to Heraklion becomes part of the experience.
Highlights

• Genuine eco sailing to Dia Island's Natura 2000 protected waters
