More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sea opens like a vast, glassy hallway as kayaks push off from shore; the wind teases a spray across your face and the guide calls a steady cadence. Paddles slice rhythm into the Aegean, and limestone cliffs slide by with layers of geologic time exposed like pages in a book. Small coves wink into view—some reachable only by water—and a tiny Cycladic chapel on an offshore islet punctuates the horizon.
