You step onto the sun-bright deck as Piraeus slips away, the Aegean wind tugging at your hair and the ferry’s wake sketching a white line toward distant calderas. Mykonos appears first: windmills and sugar-white houses crowd a low, stony shore where the sea dares you to dive in. Two nights later Santorini’s cliff-face greets you—volcanic cliffs rising like a geological score, rimmed with blue-domed villages that string themselves along the caldera edge.
