Sunlight slices the Ionian as a 450cc quad noses onto a narrow country track outside Saranda. The engine hums; the guide checks helmets and points to terraces of silver-green olive trees that slope toward the sea. You trade town traffic for a ribbon of dirt and stone, the coastline daring you to look away.
