Great trip!!! - Great time, went with my wife on our Cretan Honeymoon. Our crew were friendly. Had fruit and wine on the bow, sunbathed, paddle boarded, swam and snorkelled. Dia is a very picturesque cove to swim in. Thanks to Ilias and Nikiforas

Great experience – waves, mythology and friendly staff. - This place offered more than just beautiful scenery – the waves carried a sense of wild energy, while the mythological stories gave real depth to the experience. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, which made me feel at home right away.

Spectacular day sailing and at Dia Island! - We had an amazing time taking a private sailing cruise to Dia Island! It was such a relaxing experience. We were able to sail the waters of Greece, enjoy the sun and snorkel an ancient port located in a nature preserve. We chose to book the extended trip and have lunch included. I would recommend this for everyone as it gave us extra time at Dia Island and we stayed after several other boats left that were morning only. Nikiforos was our captain and he made it a great day on the water. We made good time and he was friendly the whole time. He made sure the day was catered to us which made it extra special! Marisa was also great! She was friendly, prepared a great meal and was knowledgeable as well. Communication was great during the entire booking process!

Wonderful cruise with terrific captain and co-captain. So beautiful and relaxing! - Demetrius and Maritza were the best! They were so much fun and had us laughing so hard. The cruise to Dia was relaxing. They had so many activities to offer (snorkeling, fishing, paddle boarding, swimming over to the island to explore, or just relaxing with a drink and enjoying the view). The food was simple but good. I can't recommend them enough!

Absolute Empfehlung! - It was just beautiful. From pickup to drop-off, everything just worked out. The shuttle was very punctual, even a little early at the hotel, so we could start on time at the harbor. Alexandra and Markos were warm and inviting. They explained everything well and took care of everything we needed. The sailing trip was beautiful despite the very calm sea, and Markos did his best so that we could at least sail a little with the power of the wind. When we arrived at the island, there were explanations and assistance for the activities. We were very impressed by Markos' patience and calmness when he helped a fellow traveler control her fear and go into the water. There was also a birthday song with dessert for a fellow traveler. A successful surprise from Alexandra and Markos. We didn't miss anything and could feel free. For Markos, it's not just his job, but a passion. We could all feel it, and it just brought us joy. It wasn't a tourist-style farewell, but an experience with heart and warmth. The food that Alexandra prepared was very tasty and filling. We sailed towards the sunset, and just before the harbor, we arrived back on time with the sun having set. Our driver was already waiting. That was nice, we had no waiting times. Thank you for this unforgettable trip and our passion behind that!!!
