The boat slips from Neos Marmaras and the afternoon breeze takes the sail taut—salt sharp in the air, the water pushing you forward toward a string of coves no car can reach. Pine-studded promontories fall away to pale sand; the sea flashes turquoise in shallow lagoons where the boat anchors and the group disperses into snorkels and SUPs.
