The boat slips free from Latchi Harbour and the coast recedes into a ragged line of limestone cliffs. Salt air fills the deck as guides point out caves and offshore islets; the water below dares you to jump in. Within half an hour the boat threads the northwest Akamas coastline and anchors in the Blue Lagoon, a shallow basin of clear Mediterranean sea where sunlight turns sand and seabed into a shimmering map.
