You wake before dawn on the sundeck as limestone karsts darken against a slow, silver sea. The boat rocks with a measured confidence; gulls call and the bay’s cliffs stretch like unread maps. On Aphrodite Cruise the day bends to water: timed meals in the dining room, a late-afternoon happy hour, and the hush of squid-fishing under a sky that seems to press close.
