Different sea, different light, different rules about how long lunch should take.
The Greek week is Y/V beyond the Adriatic: the Ionian for its short hops and reliable afternoon breeze, or the Cyclades for the meltemi and the harder, more beautiful sailing. Whitewashed villages that are still villages, tavernas where the fish is whatever came in, and water that is a colour photographs consistently fail to capture.
It runs when Croatia is closing — late in the season, and early in the spring — which is exactly the point. The Greek season is longer, and it is where our year keeps going.
