Meet your crew and board the luxurious, 53 ft (16.15 m) sailboat TREATON, equipped with an extensive swimming platform, ample cockpit and lounge areas, extra freezers and drink fridges, multiple washrooms, and air-conditioning.
As you sail towards Dia, learn about the local myths and legends of the island, like how it was created by Zeus, the God of the sky. Once you reach the island's amazing, wind protected coves, take your time to swim in the crystal - clear waters, fish, snorkel, try out paddleboarding or have fun with the sea scooter and other water toys.
Alternatively, stay on the boat and enjoy all the amenities it has to offer. Suntan and even take a little snooze on the comfortable, high-quality mattresses of the expansive front deck.
You may enjoy seasonal fresh fruits and a variety of soft drinks onboard. Later on, a delicious, authentic Mediterranean meal and some luscious, fragrant local wine will be served by the crew.
As you cruise back to the old Venetian harbor you may release your mind and let your romantic summer dreams become real while watching the stellar sunset and twilight under the brilliant starlit Cretan sky and capturing the magic moments, feeling relaxed, delighted, and totally refreshed.
