The catamaran slips away from Adamas harbor with the white buildings shrinking on the shoreline and the Aegean opening up like a page of geology. Salted wind fills the sails as you pass Skinopi, Klima and the painted sirmata houses built into the sea; basalt cliffs and folded limestone punctuate the horizon. Arkoudes—a bear-shaped lava stack—rises briefly like a guardian, then the boat eases into Kalogries, where clear water invites cliff jumps and simple dives off the deck.
