The boat slips from Mandraki Harbour and the island of Rhodes eases away until only a low skyline of stone and pine remains. Salt air sharpens the senses as the Triton cuts across the Aegean; deck chairs warm, café steam drifting from the bar, and crew voices mapping the route to Lindos. Anthony Quinn Bay appears like a pocket of turquoise daring you in — a short swim break loosens limbs and sets the rhythm for a day at sea.
