You step off the ship into a harbor where gulls call and the Aegean edges the stone quay like a silver ribbon. The day moves by car and on foot: Mandraki’s twin deer statues and the imagined footprint of the Colossus, the narrow lanes of the Medieval City, a hilltop gaze from Monte Smith, and the sun-drenched white alleys of Lindos with its cliff-top acropolis.
