The yacht slips from Agia Kyriaki and the Aegean opens like a corridor of blue—pale aquamarine near shore, deep ultramarine beyond. Onboard Veronica, the crew trims the sails and you feel the island’s geology unspool: cliffs folded from ancient volcanic eruptions give way to white sea stacks that rise like carved bones from the water.
