The yacht slips away from Mandraki as Rhodes’ stone walls recede and the sea opens like a cool invitation. Salt air pushes at the bow, and limestone cliffs on the eastern shore rise and fall—sharp ribs softened by tamarisk and scrub. Within minutes the water changes from harbor green to the clear, bright blue that draws swimmers here.
