Sailing from the port of Heraklion to Dia island takes about 1 hour. While sailing you can enjoy the wind and stunning views of the vivid blue colors of the Cretan sea or sunbathe on the deck of the catamaran if the weather conditions allow so. And who knows you might even get to meet the dolphins...
1 hourThe island of Dia is an uninhabited island 6 miles north of Heraklion with crystal waters, beautiful wild scenery and rich history. The legend says that it used to be a monster created by Zeus to destroy the Cretans but he turned it into a stone to save them eventually. In the bay of Saint George where we anchor there was an ancient Minoan port that got destroyed along with the Minoan Civilization and sometimes it is possible to find ancient ruins and artifacts in the bottom of the beach. Nowadays there is a beautiful christian church of Aegean architecture. The island is home to many wildlife species such as rabbits, kri-kri goats, hawks and more!
3 hoursWhile sailing back you can relax after a day full of joy and great memories. If you have booked the afternoon cruise with the sunset, the stunning view of the sun setting in the horizon is definitely going to be unforgettable!
