The motor hums, the Aegean lifts and the south-facing cliffs of Paros fall away into a line of glittering bays. On a private four-hour cruise you slip past low limestone headlands into sheltered coves where water the color of glass dares you to dive in. Tamarisk trees lean toward the sea; the boat answers by dropping anchor in a pocket of near-perfect calm.
