You step off the coach and the Ionian wind meets you first, a cool hand that pushes the heat back just enough. Glyfada opens from the headland in a wide sweep of golden sand and shallow turquoise—sea that invites a slow, deliberate step in and a long, easy inhale. Umbrellas dot the shore in neat rows; farther out the water deepens to clear blue luring swimmers and snorkelers.
