You step off the cruise gangway and the island’s light hits first: a sharp, saline breeze that pushes the scent of pine and sea toward the port. A compact minivan waits; in under an hour you’re climbing olive-scarred slopes to the Paleokastritsa monastery, a stone cluster watching over inlets where the sea dares you to swim.
