You step out onto Chora’s main pedestrian street and the island’s history meets the Aegean breeze: stone-paved alleys, shuttered mansions, and a square named for an invisible sailor that seems to chart local memory. The walk moves at an easy pace—enough time to read carved doorways and note the Venetian castle perched above the harbor—before the jeep snakes inland, rising into terraced vineyards and olive groves.
