A late-afternoon wind leans into the trail as hikers step from pine shade onto a cliff lip that opens to the Aegean—water the color of polished turquoise daring you to jump. The guide pauses, points to a scatter of islets and the crescent of a quiet beach below, and the group moves down toward a narrow cove where the sea quietly accepts visitors.
