★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 529 reviews · 4.5 - 7 hours · from $82

Sail from Heraklion to uninhabited Dia Island with a professional crew such as Manos, Andreas, or George. You get time to swim, snorkel, paddleboard, eat Greek food, and watch the sunset. Choose a shared or private cruise, with pickup available from many Crete resorts.

“Andreas and Ianos (hope I am spelling it correctly) were great guides, answering a lot of questions about the island. The place is a pretty good place for snorkel activities but you have to venture a bit far out, especially by the old remains of a minoan port underwater. Food was really good, drinks at your discretion. Amazing experience overall!”
