The boat slips from Larnaca Marina and the city exhales — palm-lined Finikoudes slides starboard, the Medieval Castle watches from shore, and the Mediterranean opens with a low, steady pulse. Sunbeds invite relaxed backs while the salt air pushes gently at your hair; the crew points out landmarks and you feel the coastline move beneath you.
