What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to be laughing over coffee with strangers at 9am, but there we were—shoes off, sun already warming the deck of the catamaran as we left Kos behind. The water looked almost fake, that bright blue you only see in postcards. Our captain—Nikos, I think?—pointed out Pserimos in the distance and joked about his “secret” swimming spots. Someone dropped their sunglasses and everyone scrambled to help; it was that kind of vibe.

The first swim stop was quieter than I thought it’d be. Just the sound of water slapping against the hull and someone’s slightly off-key humming. I floated for ages (the salt keeps you up whether you want it or not) and watched little silver fish dart around my toes. When I got back on board, my skin felt sticky from the salt but in a good way—like summer should feel. Lunch smelled amazing before I even saw it—grilled chicken, tomatoes so ripe they almost burst when you bit them, feta everywhere. The white wine went down too easy under the sun.

We talked with Maria from the crew about her family’s olive grove on Kos—she laughed when I tried to say “efcharistó” properly (I definitely didn’t). There was no rush anywhere; people napped or just stared at the horizon for long stretches. On the way back, I lay on one of those netted trampolines at the front of the boat and watched clouds drift by. It’s strange how quickly you forget whatever you were worrying about before you stepped on board.
