Accommodation
Excursion Itinerary: To the island of dia from heraklion

We set sail from the port of Heraklion at 09:00, embarking on a comfortable and enjoyable 45-minute journey through the pristine waters of the Aegean Sea.

The onboard restaurant-bar remains open throughout the cruise. Here, you can enjoy breakfast, take in the stunning view of the Cretan coast, and dance to the lively tunes mixed by our onboard DJ.

Dia, a small uninhabited island, lies near urban centers, yet its authentic and wild beauty offers visitors a truly unique experience. From afar, it resembles a giant crocodile or lizard, and as we approach, the surrounding waters take on a deep blue hue.

We anchor the boat in the stunning bay of Agios Georgios, located near the coast, where you can enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters.

For water enthusiasts, we offer a variety of equipment for water activities, including life jackets, boards, masks, snorkels, fins, and balls.

Dia has minimal infrastructure, with only a church commemorating the Ascension. Legends and stories envelop the island, shaped by ancient gods, mythological figures, and historical events. Renowned oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau conducted research in its waters, discovering ancient shipwrecks and a Minoan port, possibly Knossos' most important harbor.

Exploring the island, with a maximum altitude of 266 meters, is a delightful experience. Its rocky formations, garrigue landscape, and steep cliffs form a captivating and wild panorama.

Around 11:30, we depart for the beautiful beach of Panagitsa, a nearby but equally charming spot, where you can swim in the crystal-clear waters and relax.

From 12:00 to 13:30, our onboard restaurant offers complimentary food and beverages, including a selection of cold dishes, salads, fruits, desserts, coffee, soft drinks, and beer. Enjoy the culinary delights while delighting in music and dance in a lovely experience.

At 13:45, we sail back to the port of Heraklion, arriving around 14:30.

Greca Tip: Don't forget to pack comfortable clothing, swimwear, a hat, and sunscreen before the trip!
