(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! As Dia Island is integrated into the European Nature Network (Natura 2000), boats are not allowed to anchor at the island's dock. Boats anchor approximately 100 meters away from the platform and you can reach the coast by swimming. The one way trip usually takes 45 to 60 minutes depending on the weather. During the trip, we introduce you to the mythology of Dia and also to some sailing tips. When we reach Saint George’s bay there is plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing and fishing. The second stop is at Panagia Bay or Agrilia Bay. All activities are guided by the captain and/or the assistant. In addition, we provide snacks, salad and dessert with fruits.
