You push off from Chania Old Port just as the harbor light loosens its hold on the day — the Porto Veneziano hotel shrinking astern while the sea opens in a spare, blue plain. The small private boat slips past Venetian quays and low cliffs, wind picking up the salt and turning it playful, urging you toward hidden coves.
