The catamaran slips out of Agios Nikolaos harbor as sunlight chisels the Aegean into bright facets; wind fills the sails and the town’s white houses recede while Mirabello Bay opens like a wide, sun-warmed room. You feel the motion underfoot, the sea nudging the hull, and within minutes the crenellated silhouette of Spinalonga appears—a small island with big stories.
