The catamaran slips away from the quay opposite Bourtzi fortress as sea spray cools your face and the Argolic Gulf opens like a blue road. From the sheltered harbor of Nafplio, the skipper trims sails and guides the boat toward Xiropigado, then out to the small islands of Romvi and Daskalio—places reached only by boat where turquoise water meets limestone coves.
