The morning opens on Pollonia’s small harbor with a long, low horizon where the Aegean breathes turquoise and aquamarine. A working fishing boat casts off; nets and rods sit ready while the island’s low volcanic ridges slip astern. The sea feels intentional here — it invites a slow rhythm: swim, snorkel, fish, repeat.
