You start before the island stirs: gravel crunches under 4x4 tires, the coastal wind pushes the scent of sea toward the cab and the road unfurls through olive groves and limestone folds. By mid-morning the vehicle climbs to an oak forest at roughly 673 m, where ancient oaks lean like watchful elders and the Prigiponisia islands sit bright on the horizon.
