Morning light hits Parikia’s quay and the little sailing boat rocks gently, engines quiet, sails ready.

Stops unfold like chapters: a quick swim at Pantheronisi, limestone sea caves near Epitafios for cliff jumping and snorkeling, an hour at Tsimintiri (Despotiko) for lunch with views of ongoing archaeological excavations, then a final swim at Monastiria or Fira depending on conditions.
