THE WILDERNESS

Poliegos and Galazia Nera — an uninhabited blue lagoon

Poliegos, the largest uninhabited island in the Aegean, offers one of the day’s last swims at Galazia Nera (the “Blue Waters”), a narrow bay of steep white rock, sand and exceptionally clear light-blue water.

THE VIGNETTE

Klima — a small seaside village and a historical waypoint

On the return leg the cruise passes Klima, the traditional fishermen’s village near the site where the Aphrodite of Milos was found, offering a compact glimpse of the island’s human history amid the coastal scenery.
