You step out of the vehicle onto a mosaic of sun-worn stone and alleys that fold like origami — Mykonos Town's white facades gleam as the Aegean wind tugs at your shirt, daring you to look farther. The driver closes the door and for the next half-day the island becomes a curated sequence of viewpoints: narrow streets that lead to Matogianni's storefronts, the weathered timbers of Little Venice leaning over the bay, and the blunt silhouette of the windmills turning lazily above the town.
