A harbor breeze lifts salt and dust off the quay as a driver-guide waits with a nameboard; the island stretches outward in white roofs and blue windows, the Aegean daring you to decide how much to take in. From a one-hour photo stop to a full eight-hour circuit, the rhythm of Mykonos shifts — narrow alleys that funnel light like a theater, windmills watching the sea, and beaches that pulse with island life.
