The engine cuts through the Adriatic and the city’s stone walls slip behind you; salt air and a steady wake set the pace. On a private speedboat the Elaphiti archipelago unfurls — low, green islands ringed by bright coves where caves yawn and sea surfaces glitter like scattered coins. The boat threads past The Abyss lighthouse, then eases into sheltered bays where the water dares you to dive.
