About the experience

Experience the magic of the Cretan Sea as the sun sets over Zeus’s legendary island. This unforgettable sunset cruise to Dia offers golden horizons, mythic landscapes, and a rare chance to connect with nature in one of Crete’s most protected and enchanting locations.

Departing at 15:30 from the picturesque Sissi Marina, we set sail toward the uninhabited island of Dia, rising dramatically from the sea just north of Crete. Along the way, enjoy the gentle rhythm of the waves and panoramic views as the sun begins its slow descent. Upon arrival at Agios Georgios Bay—the island’s only harbor—you’ll have time to swim, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, or simply relax on the beach as the warm afternoon light casts a golden glow over the island’s rugged beauty.

Take a peaceful walk up to the church of the Ascension for breathtaking views, or admire the surrounding bays—Kaparis, Panagias, Agrielia, and the remote Anginaras to the east. As twilight approaches, gather on deck for a stunning Cretan sunset that transforms the sea and sky into a canvas of fiery color. We return to Sissi Marina by 21:00, just as the stars begin to shine.

What makes this tour truly special is its unique blend of myth, wildlife, and atmosphere. Dia Island is not only steeped in legend—said to have been created by Zeus himself—but also serves as a Natura 2000 protected site. During your visit, you might spot the shy kri-kri goat, the graceful Eleonora’s falcon, or rare species like Albinaria retusa and Carlina diae. Unlike typical sunset cruises, this journey gives you time to explore a wild, sacred place in soft afternoon light and then relax as the sky fades into night.

The small group size ensures an intimate experience, with personalized storytelling, local insights, and plenty of space to unwind and take it all in. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a romantic at heart, or simply in search of something different, this sunset cruise offers a moment of stillness and beauty you won’t forget.

Reserve your sunset escape now—unwind, explore, and witness Dia’s timeless beauty bathed in golden light!
