The bus eases around a low rocky headland and the Aegean opens like a bright, honest promise — blue that dares you to look away. Your half-day tour begins at Armenistis Lighthouse with wide sea-swept views, then threads north past wind-scrawled dunes at Ftelia and the windsurfers of Kalafatis. By the time the van rolls into Ano Mera, cobbled shade and the bell of Panagia Tourliani offer a quieter counterpoint to Mykonos Town’s coastal bustle.
