SAILING TO DIA ISLAND
We start our trip from the port of Hersonissos and we set sail for the island of Dia, an island small in size but great in history, mythology, wild beauty and environmental importance.
On the way following the route of Minoan sailors since Dia was the main harbour of Minoan Crete, you can sit back, relax and at the same time enjoy the magnificent view of the Cretan coastline while ''sipping'' the Mediterranean Blue and the sun.
Feel the thrill of Jacques Yves Cousteau when on his quest for Lost Atlantis he discovered the Cyclopean (huge) walls underwater, proof of the archaeological importance and history of Dia. Let your mind travel through time and myth and imagine when Zeus (Dias) turned a dragon into stone to protect Crete, giving Dia its shape.
On approaching Dia, the impressive, weird, powerful and unique beauty of its wild rocks enchants you. Once on island, you can cool yourself swimming and snorkelling in the crystal clear blue waters of Dia. While swimming, a delicious barbecue with best quality materials is being prepared for you. So after swimming back on the beach a freshly grilled BBQ, salad and soft drinks will be waiting for you. Sit back and enjoy your lunch with a glass of traditional home made Cretan wine.
After lunch, you can relax a little bit more and wander around the island to get some photos before going back on board. On the way back, sit back and relax while experiencing a sailing cruise with sails up (weather permitting) wandering into the memories of the day and admiring the magnificent view. On arriving back at the port, you will know that your trip to Dia Island will be an unforgettable experience! A unique boating experience not to be missed!
Extra information about Dia Island
Dia (greek word for Zeus) was a dragon, as the legend goes, who wanted to attack and destroy Crete. But Zeus (Dias) wanted to protect Crete, as it was his birthplace, and threw some magic pieces of bread (the two small islets on the east) for the dragon to eat. The moment the dragon ate them he turned into stone and so Crete was saved! Apart from mythology, the island of Dia is of great historical and environmental importance. In antiquity, it was the shelter harbour of Knossos. That's what led Jacques Yves Cousteau to carry out an underwater exploration around Dia and find its remains in the waters between Heraklion and Dia. Also, on Dia there are a number of protected creatures including: the snail ''Albinaria retusa'', the lizard ''Pdarcis erchardi'', the wild rabbit ''Oryctolagus cuniculus cnossius'', and the eagle called ''mavropetritis'' (in greek). Dia is part of the European Network of Nature (Natura) 2000 and is a vetted hunting ground. There are also a number of protected plants such as ''Carlina diae''.
