The Island is a National Park and is closed to the public, but at the West of Theodorou are the ruins of a small castle, built by the Venetians, then destroyed by the Turks. There are many tales about Theodorou, such as a giant monster and its baby approaching the nearby town of Chania with its mouth wide open ready to attack. The prayers of the Saints petrified the beast to death and created the island. Theodorou also offers a famous snorkeling spot of a WW2 German aircraft wreck. A Junker 52 was shot down during World War II and still lies on the sea bed.

If you are beached out and have seen enough of Cretan history on land, head for the Island of Dia. In 1976, Jacques Cousteau carried out underwater exploration around Dia and found the remains of an ancient port in the waters between Heraklion and Dia. On Dia, there are several protected wildlife species, including lizards, wild rabbits, falcons, and plants. The island is a protected hunting ground, but four Southern coves have been used as anchorages for centuries.

With a boat rental for a whole weekend in Crete, why not sail around the coastline a bit more. Cruise past Malia and head for Spinalonga.

Discover mysterious Spinalonga Island, a former leper colony with its dazzlingly beautiful islet located in the Gulf of Elounda off Crete's Northeastern coast. The next day keep sailing East until you reach Sitia, a small seaside town. There are small tranquil coves near the town where you can relax and enjoy the Mediterranean landscape, the food and wine before up anchor, and heading back to Heraklion.
