Unsere gebuchte Segeltour musste um 3 Tage verschoben werden, da das Wetter es nicht zugelassen hat, Sicherheit geht nun mal vor, dafür hatten wir vollstes Verständnis. Umso mehr haben wir uns gefreut, dass es dann doch noch in unserem Urlaub geklappt hat. Der Wind war dennoch ordentlich zu spüren, aber man hat die Erfahrung der Skipper gespürt, so dass wir sicher und heil am Badestop angekommen sind, um zu schnorcheln. Die Skipper haben sich auch jederzeit nach dem Befinden der Passagiere erkundet und bei Übelkeit mit Rat zur Seite gestanden. Wir konnten zahlreiche Fische sehen. Das Essen war sehr gut und mehr als reichlich. Wir würden diese Tour nochmals buchen und können es sehr empfehlen.

We had a wonderful time onboard the “Johnny” with Ariel and Christina. They were great hosts and very informative about the history of the island of Dia. Once we arrived at Dia we anchored in St. George’s Bay and were able to swim, snorkel, or paddle board for over an hour until it was time to eat the delicious dinner that they prepared for us. A great experience well worth the money.

Best sailing experience!

Wij zijn op een donderdag de afternoon sailing cruise gaan doen. Een geweldige ervaring al zeg ik zelf, ik zou het zo nog een keer doen. Je wordt bij het hotel opgehaald rond 14:00 (dit is bij ons vanuit Chersonissos) en dan ga je richting de Marina (haven). Overdag ga je op volle vaart onderweg naar het eiland Dia. Je krijgt tussendoor nog wat informatie over het eiland en de regels voor aan boord. Met een uurtje ben je bij het eiland Dia, hier heb je de mogelijkheid tot snorkelen, suppen of lekker chillen. Rond 17:30 gaan ze dineren, een geweldige pasta met garnaaltjes (kan ook zonder voor mensen die vegetarisch willen eten), brood met tzaziki en heerlijke salades. Er is ook onbeperkt drinken, dit kan bij het vriendelijke personeel gevraagd worden. Na het eten heb je nog mogelijkheden tot snorkelen, suppen, zwemmen etc. Wij waren redelijk in de late tijd (eind september) waardoor de zon snel onderging. Wij hebben echter een geweldig zonsondergang mogen ervaren! De kapitein was super vriendelijk en dacht altijd mee in oplossingen. Ook had hij een geweldige muzieksmaak al zeg ik zelf 🙂 Ook de Co Kapitein is een vriendelijke vrouw die altijd meedacht in oplossingen! Ze staan ook open voor feedback en voor vragen over alles mbt Griekenland. Nadat we terug waren op de kust, werden we weer netjes bij het hotel afgezet met de transfer. Prijs/kwaliteit is top! Je krijgt meer dan waard voor je geld! Mega tevreden!

Overall, it was a very nice experience. We communicated very easily, and they responded very quickly. Since there was a problem with the boat we were supposed to go on, they upgraded us to a more luxurious one, which was very kind. The only negative thing I can mention was the captain's attitude. He wasn't hospitable at all. He seemed irritated and responded rudely to questions. He appeared unwilling and bored when interacting with us, which slightly affected the experience negatively.

Meilleure expérience de notre voyage! Si c’était possible, je metterais 6 étoiles sur 5. Une équipe avec un dinamique d’enfert et aux petits soins. Je recommande à 110%

Make sure you make a reservation together as a group. We didn’t know. One person booked separately, and they weren’t able to be flexible, and he got sent on a different boat. They said we’ll meet him where the boats anchor. We would have booked together if we’d known we would be sent on different boats. The captain and crew were nice, the food was very good, and they anchored our boats near each other, so we weren’t separated for too long.

Esperienza fantastica, il personale che lavora sulla barca è preparato, gentile e cordiale (con un gusto musicale ottimo!). Ho preso parte all’attività con delle amiche e ci siamo divertite tantissimo, abbiamo provato sia il sup che lo snorkeling. Pranzo servito a bordo squisito e preparato al momento. Tramonto nel tragitto di ritorno spettacolare. Esperienza bellissima e altamente raccomandata.

Eine wunderschöne Seegeltour mit einer sehr sympathischen und coolen Crew. Wir waren rundum begeistert vom ersten Augenblick an. Wir hatten so viel Spass beim Schnorcheln und Stand up Paddeln. Das Essen an Bord war mega lecker. Wir hatten einen total schönen Tag. Dankeschön

We had the best sail to Dia Island. We swam and snorkeled. Also we did some paddle boarding. The dinner was delicious and fruit too. The best was the sunset on the way back to port. We had an easy pick up and drop off. The crew was friendly and we felt safe. The boat was nice and we loved sitting in the front of the boat. We had plenty of time to swim and explore. It was a really fun trip.

Our experience was amazing. Our crew were Hari and Spiros (hope I got the names right) and they were very welcoming and professional. Hari is young but experienced, and Spiros cooked our delicious meal. The bay we visited was somewhere in the middle of Dia island and even for people who don't know how to swim, there are life jackets on board to help you feel comfortable and safe in the water. If you are headed to Crete, we totally recommend booking a cruise with them. The highlight of our trip.

Super toller Ausflug. Die Crew ist freundlich, lieb und professionell. Man wird sehr gut über alles informiert und es macht echt Spaß zuzuhören. Das Essen war sehr lecker und von guter Qualität. Man könnte gut Schwimmen in dem schönen Meer, Tauchen oder SUP. Die Crew hatte alles dabei also musste man keine Schwimmbrillen usw. mitnehmen. Wir konnten den Sonnenuntergang richtig genießen und waren begeistert. Einer unserer besten Ausflüge bis jetzt.
