14:15 — Heraklion Port & Embarkation Arrive at Heraklion Port, where your private sailing vessel awaits. This isn’t just a boat ride; it’s a ceremony with sun, wind, and sea. You’ll board a comfortable yacht bound for Dia Island — a nature reserve just north of Crete. Here’s what to expect on the water: • Relaxing sail with historical narration along the Cretan coast. • Swim and snorkel in crystal bays. • Lunch and refreshments on board (local dishes, snacks, wine/beer/soft drinks). Sailing Duration: ~5.5 hrs Let the sea’s ancient cadence guide you: stop for swims in aquamarine waters, listen to the whisper of the captain’s sea-stories, or simply gaze toward endless horizon as summer light gilds your day. ________________________________________ 19:30 — Sunset Return to Port By late afternoon, as the Aegean begins its golden descent, you’ll head back toward Heraklion Port, the sky painting itself in fire and rose. This slow return is a reminder of how seafarers always marked their days: time well spent, body soothed by salt and wind.
