Jenny – United Kingdom

We had a lovely afternoon sailing to Dia Island and back. The minibus picked us up at our hotel at the agreed time and took us to Heraklion harbour. The crew of 2 were excellent hosts and the boat we were on handled the waves with ease. The crew provided blankets for guests who felt cool and were generally very helpful. We stopped just off Dia Island and some people swam and snorkelled, then we had pesto pasta and salad for dinner on the boat before sailing back, watching the beautiful sunset as we went. Once we got back to Heraklion we were then transferred back to our hotel. Overall it was a great experience.

Full description

We are offering our guests a nice day away from the shore, Dia island is a natural place no one lives there so it's an opportunity to be surrounded by quietness and nature. Choose between a private or a shared catamaran cruise, as well as how long you wish to sail on the water.
The trip starts from Heraklion port and it will take us around 1 hour to sail over there, as soon as we arrive the guests can jump into the sea, do some snorkeling, we also have a paddle board to explore the area.
Should the conditions help we sail with the wind and enjoy the magic of wind sailing.
For full day cruise we will prepare you a nice traditional meal composed by a Greek salad, tzatziki and pasta with seafood (we can adjust the menu in case of allergy or any specific diet).
For half-day cruise we will prepare you a nice pasta with tomato sauce.
After our dinner we will set sails to another bay of the island and you will enjoy a different landscape and have time for swim and enjoy some fruits and a traditional digestive that we call raki. In case the weather does not allow us to go to another bay we will just spend more time in our first stop.
During the half day option, we will stay in our main bay for enjoying more time swimming and snorkeling.
We start our trip back to Heraklion on the designated time that the crew informs you and again we open sails should the weather permits.

We are 10 - 18 persons max.
