Cast off on a luxurious half-day catamaran cruise from the old Venetian harbour of Heraklion, gliding over to Dia Island in Crete. As you sail, you can tuck into traditional Cretan delicacies and refreshing drinks – setting the tone for the trip. Once you arrive at the island, you can take your pick from the watersports on offer – try paddle-boarding, snorkelling, fishing, or simply go for a swim – there's even an inflatable sea pool.
