Dia is an uninhabited island located north of Heraklion, surrounded by small rocky inlets, and is only accessible by boat. On the southern part of the island, there are four tranquil bays: the gulf of Agios Georgios, where boats typically moor, the gulf of Kapari, the bay of Panagia, and the gulf of Agrielia.
The island holds significant archaeological interest as it was inhabited during Minoan times. Near the bay of Agios Georgios, a harbor settlement was established. Underwater discoveries have provided evidence suggesting that it was once home to one of the largest and most important ports on the entire island of Crete.
