...islands, with lunch on board and the chance to swim in one of the less greasy stretches. Or better still, escape the day-trip detritus altogether and arrange a few days on a luxury live-aboard junk complete with kayaks on which to paddle through the maze of inlets, mangrove lagoons and caves that honeycomb the shoreline.

Aged, bearded men sit around low tables next to outdoor stone pools, playing chess and dominoes while drinking tea under the mulberry trees.
