The first light strikes the caldera rim and the catamaran slips out of Ammoudi Bay, sails whispering as the volcanic island rises around you. Guests step from the harbor into an Aegean blue that dares you to dive; on deck, the crew points toward steaming fumaroles at the volcano’s edge and the jagged cliffs of the caldera that tell a history written in lava and ash.
