You step off the ferry of routine and onto warm pavement, the harbor huffing behind you and the city’s steep lanes pulling you forward. The guide waits by the white gazebo; the group gathers, laughter and the scent of salt and spices drifting together. From there the crawl threads through narrow streets, climbs a few flights of the famous 99 Steps, and pauses at low-key bars where conch fritters and a rum punch dare you to slow down and taste the island.
