“Loved it. Everyone made to feel very welcome. Food was simple but very tasty. 10 out of 10. I would highly recommend it. I would recommend offering the guests a drink while they wait to leave the marina as it’s really hot and some of us had to travel a bit to get there. If I ever return I would definitely take the trip with them again.”

“Firstly, the crew were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable (thank you Jana & Wesley) which made the experience feel personal. we were lucky to have guests who were also friendly and considerate. the food was delicious (thank you Chef Yarris) & the location by the bay was serene and peaceful.

Review of Heraklion’s full-day sail to Dia Island, with secluded bays, snorkeling, SUP boards, local lunch, pickup, and practical tips.
“It was a very enjoyable way to spend a day. It was a calm ride over to Dia Island and it took about 1.5 hour to get there. We were able to snorkel with the provided equipment. We went in May, and the water was pretty cold but bearable. I would suggest to bring water shoes if you think you might want to swim to the little beach. We did not have them and our feet hurt because the bottom is rocky and we had to be very careful not to step on sea urchins. The lunch was very good and the crew were friendly and talkative. The wind shifted…”
