The boat slips away from Argostoli harbor as the town’s low stone quay recedes and the Ionian light shifts toward orange. Sea air tugs at your jacket and the hull hums underfoot; couples and small groups lean on the rail, glasses raised, eyes fixed on a western line where the sun will fall. The captain sets a steady, deliberate pace toward White Rocks and Vardiani, giving the sea time to cool and the colors time to deepen.
