More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The 600-horsepower engines roar once, and the marina blurs as you surge toward Diaporos. Spray from the Aegean salts the air; bays open like blue rooms and the speed boat pins you forward until the boat eases into a clear lagoon. You step off the ladder into water so translucent you can read the contours of the seabed before you kick toward a ribbon of Posidonia and rock reefs alive with color.
