Half-Day Boat Trip to Dia Island from Heraklion in Crete

Upon request you will be picked up you up from your hotel and gather at the Café Marina in the Old Venetian Harbor in Heraklion to embark on our half-day excursion. Upon arrival, you will be greeted and given a safety and boat handling overview. Then, it's time to set sail towards the stunning Dia Island.

You will anchor at either Agios Georgios or Panagia bay (depending on weather conditions) located on the southern part of the island, both of which are known for their clear green waters surrounded by protected wildlife such as the "Falco Eleonorae," the Podarcis erchardii schiebeli lizard, the wild goat Capra Aegagrus Cretica, a significant rabbit population of the endemic subspecies Oryctolagus cuniculus cnossicus, and the monk seal Monachus monachus.

For approximately one and a half hours, you can swim, snorkel, sunbathe, or socialize with your fellow travelers while enjoying refreshing drinks and seasonal fruit.

And if you work up an appetite after a morning of adventure, our skipper and host will prepare a delicious lunch made from fresh, local ingredients.

After lunch and perhaps one final dip, we will set sail back to the Heraklion Venetian port. Keep your cameras ready, as we may spot some friendly dolphins on the way.
