Itinerario
La isla de Dia es una isla deshabitada 6 millas al norte de Heraklion con aguas cristalinas, hermosos paisajes salvajes y rica historia. La leyenda dice que solía ser un monstruo creado por Zeus para destruir a los cretenses, pero finalmente lo convirtió en una piedra para salvarlos. En la bahía de Saint George, donde anclamos, había un antiguo puerto minoico que fue destruido junto con la civilización minoica y, a veces, es posible encontrar ruinas y artefactos antiguos en el fondo de la playa. Hoy en día hay una hermosa iglesia cristiana de arquitectura egea. La isla es el hogar de muchas especies de vida silvestre, como conejos, cabras kri-kri, halcones y más, mientras que también existe la posibilidad de conocer a los delfines mientras navega hacia la isla.
El sitio fue fortificado por primera vez por los árabes en los siglos IX o X. En el segundo período bizantino, una torre conocida como Castellum Comunis se encontraba en el sitio. En 1303, la torre fue destruida por un terremoto pero fue reparada. En 1462, el Senado veneciano aprobó un programa para mejorar las fortificaciones de Candia. Finalmente, la torre bizantina fue demolida en 1523 y en su lugar comenzó a construirse el Castello a Mare. La fortaleza se completó en 1540. En 1630, el fuerte estaba armado con 18 cañones en la planta baja y 25 cañones en el camino que conduce al techo. Durante el asedio de Candia, que duró 21 años, las baterías otomanas neutralizaron fácilmente la potencia de fuego del fuerte. Los otomanos finalmente tomaron el fuerte en 1669, después de que los venecianos rindieran toda la ciudad. No hicieron ninguna reforma importante en el fuerte, a excepción de la adición de algunas almenas y troneras. Construyeron un pequeño fuerte conocido como Little Koules en el lado de tierra, pero fue demolido en 1936.

We had an unforgettable catamaran trip from Heraklion to the beautiful waters around Dia Island, and all the crew, including the Captain, his assistant and Giannis made the entire experience exceptional. Giannis and the rest of the crew weren’t just guides, they were also incredible hosts and cook. Throughout the day Giannis kept everyone all looked after with coffee, soft drinks, beer, wine, and plenty of refreshments, all with a smile. The highlight was the freshly prepared meal, cooked right on the boat while we were anchored in a peaceful, secluded spot off Dia Island. The seafood pasta, truffle risotto, Greek salad, Caesar salad, and the variety of dishes were absolutely delicious. Giannis and the rest of the crew kindness, professionalism, and attention to every detail made the trip feel relaxed, welcoming, and truly special. I couldn’t recommend this boat tour more highly.
Great day out. Breakfast snacks to start with unlimited drink, thank you. Brilliant crew. Swimming in crystal blue seas all equipment provided. Amazing, delicious, huge lunch. Loved every minute and we definitely recommend.
Perfect, we were upgraded, it was exceptional on the catamaran
We had a great trip with Costa & Theo. Great food, drinks included, snorkeling masks and good music. Thanks!
The skip and co-skip were very friendly. They had a snack prepared for us before we even left the dock, and gave great and clear instructions for the trip. We had a small group of about a dozen people, which was a perfect amount for the size of the boat. It was very windy on the way over to the island, everyone on the front of the boat got soaked, but the water was pretty warm, and the sun was shining. Took about an hour to get there, then they gave us free reign to play however we wanted. Lunch was served about an hour after we got to the island. The food was amazing, especially considering it was made on the boat. They had snorkels for everyone to use, and a stand-up paddleboard, although it was too windy to use it. Overall, an amazing experience, would highly recommend to anyone who loves the water.
Bring a towel sunblock and goggles. Snorkel masks are provided but I prefer to use my own. You really don’t need anything. It’s all provided. With a great lunch cooked there.
It was super good, I recommend +++
the skipper was super nice and competent. Now here come the BUTS: his employee seemed overwhelmed and inexperienced with the wave action. This led to an uneasy feeling. With 12 people who were only allowed to stay in the back during the outbound and return trip, it was way too cramped on this boat; we were squished together for hours. We saw others in front of boats that handled it better. That was my 3rd sailing tour and although it wasn't entirely bad, it was the worst one!
Stay away from this experience. It started out poorly when the skipper arrived 15 min late after all the other tours had departed. Then we got to the boat, never introduced himself and proceeded to hit the boat next to us when trying to exit the slip. Once we finally got moving, there were mechanical problems so we were stuck in open water with him trying to figure out how to steer the boat. At times it felt like he had never driven a boat before. While the weather was not something to blame on this vendor, it was very windy and at times we all thought we were going to fly off the boat. There was also no direction given about life preservers or any safety in case of emergency. When we finally made it to the island, we were the last boat to arrive. The water is freezing in this area and there is nothing there so no point in even snorkling. The skipper maybe gave us 2 minutes of history of the island and then said that was enough talking for the day. The food was okay and appreciated it was cooked fresh, however the pineapple they served was old and rotten. Overall, an expensive and wasteful trip.. I’d recommend doing anything other than this adventure while in Crete.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would, however, like to clarify a few points for future readers. The departure delay was caused by paperwork check the port authorities, which were beyond our control. In an effort to minimize any further delay, the skipper focused on preparing the vessel and departing promptly rather than making a formal introduction before leaving the marina. Regarding the maneuver while exiting the berth, our onboard camera footage confirms that no collision occurred. Due to the particularly narrow and crowded layout of our marina, it is standard practice to use the vessel's fenders to safely create space when departing tight berths. We would also like to clarify that there were no mechanical issues during the trip. What may have appeared to be steering difficulties was the skipper positioning the yacht into the wind in order to deploy the furling mainsail correctly. This is a normal sailing procedure and is required for the sail to be safely opened. The weather was indeed windier than usual that day. While sailing conditions were more dynamic, the safety of our guests was never compromised. Nevertheless, we are sorry that you felt uncomfortable during parts of the trip. As for Dia Island, the skipper provided information about its history and concluded with one of his usual light-hearted remarks, which was intended as humor rather than a dismissal of guests' interest. We appreciate your positive comments regarding the freshly prepared meal. We are, however, concerned by your comment about the pineapple, as food quality is very important to us, and we will review this with our crew. While we respect that sailing may not be for everyone, we are disappointed that the experience did not reflect the enjoyment and positive memories that the vast majority of our guests take away from visiting Dia Island with us. We wish you the best for the remainder of your travels in Crete.
5 stars for a 5 star day! Olga and Yannis were both great and the food Olga made while we were docked at Dia was some of the best we've had on our 3 week trip! You could snorkel or paddle board if you wanted, the water was too cold for this Arizona girl so I stayed on the boat to sunbathe. Great day trip to see more beautiful parts of Greece!
