Late-morning sun slants across whitewashed walls as the coach pulls away from the port and the Aegean widens to your right. The road climbs gently toward Armenistis Lighthouse; wind tugs at hair and camera straps while sea-spray smells sharpen the view. This shared four-hour circuit stitches together coastal panoramas, low-key village life and the tight alleys of Mykonos Town.
