You step out of an air-conditioned van and the Aegean opens like a dare — wind pulling at your shirt, light ricocheting off whitewashed stone. The driver points north and within minutes the Armenistis Lighthouse stands above low scrub, its white tower cutting a clean line against bright sea. That first view clarifies why Mykonos drew sailors and traders for centuries: geography that commands the currents and views that read the wind.
