More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat rocks gently as you push off Marina Gouvia, salt spray flicking your face and the old town shrinking behind you. Canvas fills, the engine quiets, and the coastline becomes a line of sun-bleached cliffs and small villages. Over five hours you’ll skirt verdant hills and drop anchor at narrow sea caves where light and shadow make the limestone glow blue.
