Description
Good to Know
What makes this experience special is the combination of a private sailing cruise and a professional Cretan wine tasting in one unique setting. Guests sail from Heraklion to Dia Island onboard Princess Elena, enjoy time to swim and relax in clear waters, and then take part in a guided tasting of 5 selected Cretan wines.
Unlike a standard boat trip, the focus is on Crete’s wine culture. A professional enologist/sommelier presents local grape varieties, terroir and winemaking traditions, while guests enjoy local cheese, olives and seasonal fruit onboard.
This is ideal for couples, friends and small private groups looking for a premium, relaxed and personal experience that combines sailing, sea views, local flavors and authentic Cretan wine culture.

The highlight of the experience is a private guided tasting of 5 selected Cretan wines onboard. A professional enologist/sommelier introduces guests to Crete’s wine heritage, local grape varieties, terroir and winemaking traditions. The tasting is paired with local cheese, olives and seasonal fruit, creating an intimate Cretan food and wine experience at sea.
After the tasting, guests enjoy a relaxing return sailing trip back to Heraklion.
