Sail from Heraklion to Dia Island for swimming, snorkeling, SUP, a Mediterranean lunch, drinks, and sunset views aboard a small yacht.

“We had an amazing trip to Dia island with Stelios and Celia! We decided to try the full day trip over the half day and are so glad we did. Definitely pay the bit more if you can! The pickup from our hotel was right from the door and on time, we were welcomed on board at the harbour and at the island had a chance to try snorkelling and SUP for the first time. Lunch was prepared while we swam and we had plenty of chance to sunbathe without feeling under pressure to do anything to a schedule. The whole experience was so relaxing, we felt like welcomed guests…”

“We had the most unforgettable sunset trip with the catamaran in Rethymno! It was also my daughter’s birthday, and the hostess went above and beyond to make it special—she even prepared a cake and sang happy birthday for her. Truly, she was the most amazing hostess I have ever met. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, food and drinks were always available and of top quality, and everything was arranged with such care. Watching the sun set over the sea with my family while celebrating my daughter’s birthday made this experience priceless. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Rethymno—you won’t just enjoy the views, you’ll feel genuinely cared…”
