Wind, salt, and the low rumble of a 450–600cc engine set the pace as you peel away from Mykonos Town and onto corrugated island roads. Dust rises in a thin ribbon while the Aegean flashes on your right; bright cliffs and scrubby maquis push close to the trail, and every bend offers a new frame—an unguarded cove, a white chapel, a lonely windmill.
