You step into the back of a Mercedes-Benz as Athens thins into sunlit coastline; the city’s white roofs shrink and the Saronic Sea unfurls like a promise. The driver takes the coastal road, where breezes push at the windows and the Temple of Poseidon perches at the cliff’s lip, waiting for the sun to lower the horizon in a slow, gold hush.
