Sailing To Dia Island From Heraklion! Half Day Mini Cruise!
We offer the opportunity to choose between a morning (09:00 - 13:30) or sunset (16:30 - 21:00) semi-private cruise. Upon arrival you will be guided to the boat where the captain welcomes you on board and offers you a welcome drink (coffee or juice). After a short safety brifing we set sail for Dia in the St. George’s bay. The one way trip usually takes 45 to 60 minutes.

All activities are guided by the captain and/or the assistant. In addition, we provide snacks, salad and dessert with fruits.
