Morning light slides across the Aegean as a private vehicle curls up narrow Mykonos lanes — the island waking around wind-polished white houses and low stone walls. The driver-guide pauses first at Armenistis Lighthouse where gulls and sea spray frame a coastal panorama; the wind seems to pull your gaze toward distant islets and the bright line where sky meets water.
