The boat slides away from the marina and the town's stone houses recede, replaced by a horizon of blinding blue. Salt and lemon on the air, the double-deck vessel hums along the Aegean as gulls wheel above—this is Bodrum by water, stripped of traffic and full of small coves that dare you to jump in.
