The morning light off Ammoudi shaves the caldera rim into a sharp silhouette as a compact motor-sailor slips from the small port and eases into open Aegean blue. Passengers feel the breeze and the island’s geology unfold: pumice cliffs give way to lava-cut coves, and the cliffs of Oia recede into a panoramic rim that always invites a second look.
