Where luxury meets the sea

Designed for the art of slowing down.

Settle into a journey where comfort, elegance and serenity move at the same pace. Music, Wi-Fi, shaded lounging and thoughtful essentials let every guest relax from the moment they step aboard.

Three double cabins, two bathrooms and a fresh-water deck shower provide private space to refresh between swims in Crete’s crystal-clear sea.

Discover Dia Island

A quiet Aegean escape

Dia Island, revealed slowly.

Just a short sail from Crete, Dia Island feels entirely removed from the world. Swim in translucent coves, share lunch beneath rugged cliffs and let the quiet Aegean set the pace.
