The catamaran slips away from Hersonissos as the town’s harbor lights dim and the sea widens into a glass of late-afternoon color. Salt air and a soft Prosecco welcome set the tone; sunbeds invite a stretch, while fins and boards wait for the first swim. As the hull eases toward Malia Bay and the small coves around Agios Georgios, cliffs and a white chapel loom like markers on an old map, and the water dares you to dive in.
