You push off from the small harbor as the island slips into the wake — wind across your face, the 250hp outboard humming beneath a tight canopy. Within minutes the mainland’s buildings fall away and limestone walls begin to rise straight from aquamarine water. The skipper plots a course for Navagio (Shipwreck Beach) and the famed Blue Caves, giving you a front-row view reserved for sea travelers.
