The morning light slides across the old stone harbor of Damouchari and the sea seems to hold its breath. You push off from a pebble quay into water that moves you gently; the coastline quickly tightens into cliffs that loom and dare you to explore. Small bays open then shut like pages, and between them lie caves whose entrances glint turquoise in the sun.
