You step off a narrow quay as the crew asks for shoes to be left ashore; the catamaran waits broad and steady against the caldera cliffs. The boat slips away from Ammoudi or Athinios and the island’s wall of whitewashed houses drops behind you while the sea opens, an abrupt blue framed by volcanic rock.
