Panagia Bay, the most sheltered bay on Dia Island, sits 2km east of the primary port of Agios Georgios. It is nestled amongst arid, rocky slopes abundant with oregano and native Cretan herbs. The island is teeming with wild rabbits that can often be seen darting from the shrubbery. At the mouth of Dia’s only canyon, a petite beach with large pebbles takes form. The bay is named after the Panagia (Virgin Mary) cave situated to the east.
Access to Panagia is primarily by private or chartered sailboat, as the tour boats that service Dia typically visit the Agios Georgios bay. The bay floor is a sight to behold. If one is vigilant while snorkelling, it is possible to spot fragments of pottery, potentially remnants of an ancient shipwreck.
