You step out of an air-conditioned vehicle and the sea takes the first breath — a sharp, salty note that frames the island’s limestone cliffs and green terraces. The tour moves like a well-timed postcard: Katavothres’ curious water wheels and a lonely lighthouse offer instant composition; Kastro Village climbs into view, its medieval walls and St. George’s Castle watching over wind-scoured olive groves.
