One of a kind
After a very warm welcome from Magda we set sail to the islland of Dia. On our way we enjoyed the historical stories of our skipper Drosos. At Dia island we did some snorkling and spotted a variety of fish. Meanwhile Droses and his girlfriend Dimitra prepared a very tasteful meal. The sunset on our way back to Crete was very beautiful. For us this sailing trip was certainly one of the highlights of our holiday at Crete.

Wonderful time.
Excellent, good trip and wonderfull time with sun set, will chose again. We will repeat it next time we come back to Kreta. Thank you, Magda.

Crete Sail Boating Excursion
This was an amazing trip. The waters and views were fantastic as well as the experience. Our captains Greg and Dimitrious very extremely accommodating and friendly. The service on the boat was fantastic as they cooked us a homemade lunch and gave us wine. Our travel assistant Magda was also excellent! She arranged our taxis to and from the boat, booked dinner reservations, and even taught us some history on our walks through town. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and relaxed. This excursion is a MUST if visiting Crete!

Absolutely wonderful!
We had an amazing time on our yacht trip! The booking process with Magda was fantastic, she went out of her way to create the perfect experience for us. For example, she asked if we were a tall family, and when I said yes, she upgraded us to a larger yacht. She also organized a cake to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday during our tour! The gentlemen on the boat, Magolis and Yannis, were so nice and authentic. They cooked a fabulous meal for us, told us about the history and the mythology of the Venetian port in Heraklion and the Island Dia, and took excellent care of us throughout the trip. While snorkeling we saw two octopus!! Thanks so much to the team. We highly recommend this experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! Means the world to us. We really hope to see you again in our lttle island.

Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.
How much does Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port cost?
+
Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Heraklion is not rushed.
Is Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Heraklion can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury escape Sailing, shared from Hersonissos or Heraklion port start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Heraklion within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Heraklion?
+
On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Heraklion?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Heraklion?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
