The boat slips away from a tiny green lighthouse and the cliff face closes like a theater curtain — only to open on a series of caverns cut by centuries of waves. Salt and lemon-scented air push forward as the captain threads the engine through narrow mouths of limestone, revealing pockets of turquoise where light pools and the sea dares you to dive.
