Private Magic Sunset Sailing Trip to DIA in Heraklion,Crete(4,5H)

A dream of sunset by the sea

Indescribably beautiful. Especially the sunset. The deep blue of the sea hypnotizes. For me, it wasn't a snorkeling place. But that's not the important thing about this event either. It was truly unforgettable. Would love to experience it again tomorrow!

Experience a 4 Hours Modern Via Ferrata

Unforgettable Climb with Stunning Views and an Outstanding Guide

A few years ago, I did a Via Ferrata in Peru. My son Taino did one a month ago in Switzerland, and my son Kylian did one last year in Spain along the coast. But this Via Ferrata exceeded all our expectations and previous experiences. Our guide, Stelios Asmargianakis, picked us up punctually at 6:30 in the morning and drove us safely for an hour and a half to the place where we would start climbing. The guide was not only extremely friendly, polite, and helpful, but also very experienced. He gave clear instructions and accompanied us throughout the entire Via Ferrata. The route began with a descent, which was fairly easy. After about 20 minutes of going down, we reached an ascending section with breathtaking views. Then, there was a short traverse on a steep part of the mountain. Although it looked impressive and a bit scary (the ground was 200 meters below us), it was not difficult to do the traverse safely under the watchful eye of our guide, Stelios. After the traverse, the route continued vertically. The views were absolutely beautiful and impressive, and the Via Ferrata was well maintained. In short, this trip was a milestone in our lives, even though we have already done many adventurous activities: from deep-sea diving in Aruba and white-water rafting in Ecuador to paragliding in Peru and canyoning in Costa Rica. This Via Ferrata is highly recommended, and the guide is knowledgeable and very friendly.
