You meet at the Windmills as late light slants over the Aegean, white walls catching a last warm edge. The photographer leads you off the main flow into alleys that narrow and open like pages, where bougainvillea throws color onto sun-bleached stone and bicycles lean against painted doors. The town itself becomes the subject — doors, shutters, stairways and rooflines composing frames on every turn.
