The Journey
Your day begins with a warm welcome from our attentive crew. Sip freshly brewed espresso or tea and taste traditional local pastries as we set sail across the sparkling sea waters. Relax on deck with unlimited drinks — crisp white wine, cold Greek beer, and soft refreshments — all served with genuine Greek hospitality. Soft music sets the mood, while panoramic sea views create a sense of calm and freedom.
As we sail toward Dia, you can relax on the deck and enjoy the gentle morning sun — admire the passing sailboats and take in the beauty of the Cretan sea with your own eyes.
Upon arrival, carefully selected light snacks will be offered — balanced and infused with a Mediterranean touch.
You are welcome to the crystal-clear waters of the untouched and uninhabited Dia Island! You can try fishing or explore the bay on a SUP — all the equipment is fully at your disposal. Grab a mask and snorkel to explore the seabed — if you look closely, you might spot fragments of ancient pottery, a reminder of the rich history of this place. And of course, our pink flamingo float is waiting for your next great photo moment.
The highlight of your day is a gourmet Mediterranean lunch, thoughtfully prepared onboard by our expert chef using the freshest organic ingredients sourced directly from a local Cretan farm. Indulge in a refined selection of seasonal dishes showcasing succulent seafood, tender meats, and vibrant vegetables, complemented by a homemade fruit dessert. Children are also catered for with a specially designed menu ensuring a delightful dining experience for all.
If you’d like, you can also order a refreshing cocktail or a premium drink for an extra touch of indulgence.
As your day on the sea winds down around mid-afternoon, relax on deck and take in panoramic views. Whether soaking up the sun or enjoying quiet conversations in the shade, this peaceful moment is the perfect way to conclude your luxurious day at sea.
