The bow parts the blue; cliffs of the Mani lean toward the sea and the bay opens like a secret. On a private four-hour cruise out of Kardamili you’ll drop anchor in sheltered coves, clip on a snorkel and let clear Adriatic waters pull you along rock gardens and submerged caves. Guides who grew up on these shores point out underwater springs, tidal alcoves and the pale Posidonia beds that feed the coast’s marine life.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
