The air tastes of salt and sun as your minibus eases away from Mykonos’ port and drops you into a short, bright day by the Aegean. Sand crunches underfoot at Ornos, the bay opening like a shallow palm where swimmers drift in clear, sheltered water and tavernas line the shore with seafood and cold drinks.
