Research has shown that the traditional Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of heart disease. In fact, an analysis of more than 1.5 million healthy adults demonstrated that following a Mediterranean diet was associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease and cancer, as well as a reduced incidence of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

Itinerary

- 10:00 : As soon as the guests arrive on the yachts in Heraklio Old Venetian port, a small briefing concerning safety regulations as well as boat handling will be given by the instructor/skipper on the yacht. We set sails for the nearby island of Dia (around 6 miles ~1 hrs). Our experienced crew will help our guests feel comfortable while sailing (not motoring). Enjoy the silence, while the yacht moves only by sails.
- 11:00 : We drop our anchors in a protected cove of Dia island which belongs to the Natura 2000 project. A refreshing dive in the crystal clear water is a must.
- 13:00-15:00: It is time for the culinary experience. A brief introduction includes: - Cretan Raki, a variety of local cheese, home made bread, and paximadi (dry bread), olives. Olive-oil tasting. - Appetizer: Cretan “dakos”, “boureki” ( a type of pastry filled with eggplant and feta cheese), fava beans, octopus, mussels in steam. - First dish: Pasta (spaghetti or risotto with seafood and roe (bottarga). - Main: Grilled sea bass with rosemary. -Wine: Three different high-quality wines that perfectly accompany our menu. - Dessert: Homemade jams, pies with honey, fresh figs, -Dessert Drink: Dessert wine from sun-dried grapes.
