A late-afternoon jeep rumbles away from the coast and the island seems to rearrange itself: scrubby limestone slopes give way to terraced olive groves, then to sheer cliffs dropping into the Aegean. The vehicle threads narrow lanes above hidden coves, pausing at a small freshwater pool called Crab Lake where island wildlife comes to drink. As the sun tilts west, the tour moves through mountain villages with whitewashed houses, and the light sharpens on Paleokastritsa’s blue bays.
