What To Expect
Old Venetian Harbor of Heraklion
The Old Venetian Port of Heraklion stands as a testament to Crete’s rich maritime history and its strategic importance during the Venetian rule from the 13th to the 17th century. Built to serve as a vital hub for trade and defense, the port was once lined with shipyards and warehouses that supported Venetian naval power in the Eastern Mediterranean. Its well-preserved architecture, stone piers, and arched structures reflect the engineering skill and ambition of the time. Walking along the harbor today, you can still feel the echoes of a vibrant past shaped by merchants, sailors, and centuries of cultural exchange.
Castello del Molo (Koules)
Rising proudly at the entrance of Heraklion’s Old Venetian Port, the Koule Fortress—also known as the Rocca al Mare—has stood watch over the harbor for centuries. Built by the Venetians in the early 16th century, this formidable structure was designed to protect the city and its vital maritime routes from pirate raids and enemy fleets. With its thick stone walls, battlements, and storied past, the fortress served not only as a military stronghold but also as a symbol of Venetian power in the Eastern Mediterranean. Today, its enduring presence tells the tale of Heraklion’s strategic importance and the turbulent history of Crete’s coastal defenses.

5.00We booked a tour to the Dia-Island. For me personally it was the best Boat Experience I had in my life. Captain Johny was a really entertaining an funny guy. Captain Amalia also very friendly and very sympathic. They explained us a lot of things about Greek. Captain Amalia cooked spaghetti with shrimps for dinner. It was very delicious. Super experience.

5.00What a wonderful day on the water! The captains were delightful, very kind and attentive, warm and friendly. There were 12 passengers which seemed too many at first but we were then aloud to spread out and sit on the front deck of the boat which was PERFECT! The blue water was beautiful and the lunch was superb! Dia Island wasn’t much to see, a place to drop anchor and be protected from the wind. We had a blast swimming, snorkeling and SUPing around. Thank you Alex and Vascili for a wonderful day!
Great!

5.00The sailing trip was wonderful! It was all very thoughtful - both the outbound journey, the food, the drinks and the return journey perfect for sunset. Snorkeling on site was also great! We would do this trip again.
