About this tour

Step aboard Crete’s biggest, most luxurious catamaran from Heraklion’s port, right by the iconic Koules Fortress, and sail to the mythical island of Zeus (Dia Island) — where turquoise waters, ancient legends, and Cretan hospitality come together in perfect harmony.

From the moment you’re welcomed on board with authentic Cretan treats — coffee and sweets for early risers or prosecco for sunset seekers — you’ll know this isn’t just another boat trip.

Then, after a quick safety briefing, cruise to hidden beaches with turquoise waters that scream paradise. Snorkel among ancient relics and fish (underwater history tour, anyone?), spot playful dolphins, or command SUP boards and spearfishing gear for that thrill-seeking edge. Chill mode? Lounge on deck with inflatables, soothing melodies, and complimentary Wi-Fi to flaunt your envy-inducing snaps.

Back on board, culinary climax awaits: enjoy a gourmet Mediterranean feast by award-winning chef Giorgos Chronakis, – fresh seafood, crisp salads, seasonal fruits, and traditional sweets, all with unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks. Vegan, allergen-free, or kiddie delights? Custom-crafted on demand. (Pro tip: Calories don’t count at sea – chef’s orders!)

Choose your moment: the morning sun or a sunset that will steal your heart. Either way, you’ll leave with salt on your skin, a full belly, and a smile that says, “This… was paradise.”

Book now – because you deserve this divine treat, not just another beach day! 🍾🌊
