Dia Island

Dia Island is a small uninhabited island just off the coast of Heraklion, offering one of the most beautiful sea escapes in Crete. According to local legend, the island was created by Zeus to protect Crete from pirates, while archaeological findings reveal strong ties to the ancient Minoan era and old maritime trade routes.
