Rock-smoothed cliffs fall away to a small pebble inlet and the Mediterranean presses cold against your wetsuit. You follow a narrow path through scrubby mastic and pine, breath smelling of rosemary, until a quiet cove offers neoprene, fins and a gap in the rock. A short, sheltered swim ushers you into a cave chamber where shafts of light pick out stalactites and a glassy freshwater pool—an underground room shaped by sea, stone and time.
