The sun hits the Aegean and the jeep pops over a low ridge — salt air pushing at the windows as the coast unfurls into pebbled coves and wind-sculpted scrub. You begin on tracks that thread between whitewashed farmhouses and dry stone walls, the island’s scrubby hills giving way to cliffs where lighthouses stand like patient sentinels over the blue.
