You push off from Stegna’s small pebbled shore and the Aegean takes your rhythm—flat, glassy in the morning, teasing with a steady breeze by midday. Paddleboards rock gently as your private guide points toward a cut in the coastline where sunlight chisels a sea cave entrance; the water inside glows a deeper blue and seems to dare you to swim.
