A beautiful experience - Me and my boyfriend took a boat trip to Dia Island. We had a great time. The crew was very nice and friendly and always in a good mood. There was mega delicious lunch plus dessert and soft drinks and white wine I wanted as much man. Before the island there was plenty of opportunity to bathe and sunbathe. The crew provided snorkeling equipment for this purpose. So we could enjoy the crystal clear, green-blue water. With cosy music on board, the way back and the afternoon ended after about 4-5 hours. Highly recommended trip.

Great grip, great company, amazing crew - Great experience! It's a short trip, but the water is beautiful and it's great to get away from the crowds during the peak season. There were a lot of boats in the bay over on Dia island, but there was plenty of room. The crew was amazing, so friendly and happy to help with every detail. Lunch was basic but tasty (what do you expect!?). Came in on a cruise ship, and you could walk to the boat but the pickup at the cruise terminal was on time and convenient. They did a great job communicating with us as they had to move the time a bit earier due to light winds (takes longer to get to/from Dia). Overall amazaing experinece, thanks so much!

Well worth the money - Myself and my partner took his 13 year old son on a half day sailing trip from Heraklion to Dia Island. It was one of the best days of our holiday. Vasili and Dionysus (Denis, but I prefer his proper name!) were absolutely fantastic, giving us lots of interesting information whilst also allowing those of us onboard to chat and get to know each other. We paid €90 as it was high season and I think it was worth every penny. Dia is beautiful and rugged and I could have spent much longer snorkelling amongst the fishes and ancient pottery on the sea floor. I had never been on a sailing boat of that size before and it was a beautiful experience. I felt really safe in the hands of Vasili and Denis, who are both very experienced sailors. Highly recommended for couples and for older children.

Fantastic experience - highly recommended - This was a truly fantastic experience that my wife and I enjoyed thoroughly! First, we appreciated all the communication before the day of our trip, with all the practical information regarding the trip, which made the preparations and planning simple and easy. We felt the duration of 4.5 hours worked very well. The trip itself is awesome in all respects and definitely something one should do if they visit the area of Heraklio. The sailing experience is exciting, the water at Dia is marvelous, the meal is delicious, and the staff is amazing! Our captain and co-captain were Markos and Magda and each of them was the perfect combination of knowledge, competence, and efficiency along with superb Greek warmth, hospitality, and kindness! This trip was a wonderful memory from our trip to Crete and we highly recommend it!
