Beautiful trip to the bay with crystal clear waters

5.00It was a very nice tour to Dia. After driving into a busy bay, we drove on to the private bay. Here was only our ship with 12 people. Crystal clear water with views down to the bottom. Snorkeling, stand up paddling and swimming in 2 hours stay. The snacks were also great. Recommended and gladly again !

5.00We had an absolutely amazing time on the catamaran trip with my 8-year-old son, friends, and family! The experience was perfect from start to finish—the crew was incredibly friendly and professional, the boat was spotless and comfortable, and the views were breathtaking. The kids loved swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and we all enjoyed relaxing on deck with a delicious dinner. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, making it a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this tour to families or anyone looking for a fun, memorable day out. 10/10—we’d do it again in a heartbeat!

5.00This was the highlight of our holiday, such an incredible trip with outstanding views and brilliant snorkeling. The meal included was also really lovely, and we enjoyed sharing it with the others on the boat and having a super wholesome trip. The staff were expert and professional, always on top of offering drinks and telling us the history of the island of Dia. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the Catamaran boat due to availability, which was a wonderful suprise and a true extra treat for us! Would highly recommend Green Cruises to anyone looking to get out on the sea!

5.00We recently booked a private yacht charter with Green Cruises for our honeymoon, and I can't praise them enough! Hanna was our point of contact, and she went above and beyond to tailor the cruise to our needs. She was extremely responsive to all our queries and gave us excellent recommendations for routes and activities. The yacht itself was luxurious and comfortable, providing the perfect setting for our special trip. The crew was professional and attentive, ensuring that we had a stress-free and enjoyable experience. The highlights of our trip included a private beach picnic and snorkeling in secluded spots – things we would never have found on our own. If you're looking for a personalized and memorable cruise experience in Greece, Green Cruises is the way to go. And make sure to ask for Hanna – she’ll take great care of you!

5.00What a fantastic trip! We were collected from our hotel and driven to the port. The boat was beautiful and the team onboard took such amazing care of us. Thank you, Kostas and Yiannis. A delicious dinner, violin playing and Rubik’s cube solutions - there wasn’t a dull moment. Plenty of time to swim, snorkel or paddle board too before heading back and taking in the perfect sunset. Nature is a spectacular thing. Cannot recommend this trip enough.
Great experience!

5.00At the end of the afternoon we arrived in the old port of Heraklion, where we were received by the friendly crew. Not much later we left the port and after hoisting the sails to the island of Dia in the Aghios Giorgios Bay. Swimming, snorkeling and then drinks and snacks. Lovely to enjoy! Then the most beautiful part begins, sailing back with a beautiful sunset. Ioannis, the captain told about sailing tour they do to the Cyclades. I'm already looking forward to it!
Great sailing trip!!
