The bow cleaves the Ionian, sunlight fracturing into shards of turquoise as the coastline sharpens into white cliffs. From the deck of a 6.5m speedboat you’ll approach sea-carved archways and a rusting hull beached in a cove so small the cliffs seem to have closed around it. Wind and spray become the constant companions here; the sea invites you to step over the ladder and fall into water that presses an impossible blue against the shore.
