TRIP OVERVIEW This sailing trip is the perfect way to experience the island of Dia from another perspective - the sea. Travel with us with guaranteed comfort and finesse and try a unique sailing experience under the golden Cretan sun! Dia is a NATURA protected, uninhabited island, located about 7 nautical miles off the northern coast of Crete. Jacques-Yves Cousteau's findings in the island, in 1974, are of great archaeological interest. The island was inhabited by the Minoans and played a critical role in navigation and sailing during the Minoan times. It is well known that the Minoans were the most skilled sailors of the ancient world and the Minoan civilization is considered to be one of the most advanced ones ever existed on Earth. During this cruise, you can engage yourselves in a variety of activities. Try diving with your mask in the crystal-clear water, as its bottom is of great ecological and archeological interest because of the large variety of undersea discoveries. Or else, you can just relax aboard and enjoy the warm sun. As the boat glides through the water, you will likely encounter dolphins, which love to swim in our bow wake. Relish the full experience of this trip, accompanied by high-quality sailing, the warm sun and the sea breeze! INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: a) Water, refreshments, 1 wine bottle/4 people, beer and fresh fruit served on board b) Snorkeling equipment (flippers and masks) EXTRAS (additional cost - available upon request): a) Linen (towels, bedsheets) b) Lunch - 15€ per person for Greek salad and seafood pasta Feel free to contact us anytime! We will be excited to welcome you onboard and share with you an everlasting sailing experience!

The whole experience was incredible from start to finish. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. He shared fascinating stories about the area and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the trip. The swimming location at Dia Island was absolutely stunning—crystal-clear waters, peaceful surroundings, and the perfect spot for a refreshing dip. It felt like a hidden paradise! I highly recommend this boat tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and beautiful day out on the water.
Ioannis and the crew were excellent. So kind and welcoming and providing an excellent service. The boat was nice and comfortable. Food and drink was lovely and we left and arrived on time. We also had a go at Snorkeling and SUP which was lovely in the cove in Dia Island. If we come back I'll contact with him again. Thank you, Charlie
We we’re looking forward about this trip but unfortunately our cruise couldn’t docked in Crete for weather conditions, so I can’t make a review.
Amazing day, couldn’t of been received better service. Ticketed every box, drinks given to us as soon as we arrived, great food cooked on the boat, friendly and informative staff and an all great experience.
Thank you Ioannis for this great experience ! Most to do to enjoy your vacation. Incredible crew really welcoming and with the greek hospitality. We sail to Dia Island and Ioannis bring us in a spot really quiet to enjoy the sea and relaxing. Thank you again ! It was a pleasure and hope to see you again ! Steve
The food was delicious, and it was a fun time, except for getting seasick because it was a little far away (about 2.5 hours round trip). It was better because both the captain and the crew were pleasant people..
