The boat slips away from the quay and the Genoese fortress slides astern, cliffs like folded pages of rock giving way to the open Black Sea. Salted wind pushes the hull and, just off the bow, Rabbit Island (Tavşan Adası) sits like a small reefy challenge daring you closer. Onboard, the conversation shifts between guide’s maritime tales and the soft slap of waves against the hull.
