In Crete, there are so many things you can do! We suggest the following and we are here to organize your leisure activities!
Rent a Boat
Be a captain for a day! Rent a boat and drive it on your own – No license needed – No experience required – Complete freedom in time and length of the trip.
An experienced crew will give you a short theoretical and practical introduction on how to drive your boat before you get to start into your open sea adventure.
Discover the beautiful bays of Crete! Stop in the middle of the sea to take a dip into the clear waters or discover the isolated beaches that can only be reached by boat. With a little luck you will be able to witness some of Crete’s special visitors: Turtles, flying fish or Dolphins.
Ask for fishing equipment or snorkeling masks and make it an unforgettable trip.
All boats are equipped with a sun tent, pillows, fridge, radio, ladder, quick stop, a GPS tracker.
A captain is available on demand.
Sailing
Spend the day aboard of a small size sailboat and enjoy the Cretan clear waters. After an optional pick up at your property, you will meet up at the port of Heraklion, where the sails are set. It will take about one hour of sailing through the beautiful sea to reach Dia Island.
Once the anquor is set the captain will prepare lunch while you enjoy admiring the clear sea and wide range of fish with the snorkeling equipment organized by the crew, relax on the boat or take a walk through the deserted island. After your meal and some time to digest, you head to a deserted cove and have some time to swim again.

Water sports
Water sports are very popular in Greece and with a huge range of organized beaches, on the mainland and islands, there is almost no specific taste that can’t be met.
With seas bounding the mainland on both sides, and around all islands, there is no type of organised team event that can’t include some form of water activity; so don’t hesitate to ask us what we can organise for you.
The weather is usually great and from any time between March to late October, it will be warm enough for anyone to dive into the crystal waters.
