The engine cuts through the swell and the Akamas coastline opens like a map of hidden coves—limestone cliffs giving way to pebble beaches and cobalt water that dares you to dive. From Latchi Harbour you take the helm of a Tempest 570, a compact speedboat built for quick access to Blue Lagoon and the pockets of shoreline that only boats can reach.
