The day opens at Mandraki Harbor where gulls wheel over fishing boats and the stone piers still echo tales of the Colossus. The guide gathers the group and the city’s layered past unfolds on foot: narrow cobblestone alleys, the Avenue of the Knights, and the sheer thickness of medieval walls that scrub the Aegean light into long shadows.
