The uninhabited island of Dia makes for a great getaway. You'll cruise over from Crete to swim, snorkel and more. Choose from an all-day tour, which includes free time on the island, or an evening cruise, where you'll sail around St George's Bay.

Located approximately 10km north of Crete, it doesn't take long to reach the island's rugged shores. You'll set sail from Hersonissos. For the full day cruise, the first stop is at Our Lady's Bay for swimming, snorkelling and a chance to fish in clear waters. Then, it's off to St George's Bay. Lunch is served on board. Enjoy some free time to wander around the island before heading back to Crete for the early evening.

For the evening cruise, you'll glide over to St George's Bay in the southwest corner of the island. Here, azure waters wash a rocky coastline with just a dinky blue-roofed church breaking up the jagged vista. Fresh fruit and wine are served on board.
