The boat slips away from Pollonia as the first heat of the day softens over the Aegean. Salt-air and the quiet confidence of a captain born and raised on Milos set the tone: this is a working sea guided by someone who reads currents the way others read maps. Within minutes the island shapes open—Milos’ volcanic cliffs giving way to the pale, uninhabited silhouette of Polyaigos and water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue.
