The morning begins with the salt air pressing at the windows as the van slides into the white maze of Mykonos Town. Cobbled alleys open into a wash of sun on plaster and the windmills turn as if testing the day; the sea beyond dares you to look further. Little Venice appears like a postcard brought to life, balconies hanging over the surf, while Paraportiani’s white walls catch and throw the light in impossible angles.
