You push off from Platis Gialos as the harbor slips backward and the Aegean opens; limestone cliffs and low volcanic spits appear ahead, the sea daring you into its pockets of turquoise. In six hours the boat threads narrow caves, drops anchor in hidden bays and lets you slide into water so clear the seabed reads like map lines.
