You step off the quay and the Aegean breeze pushes a clean salt-scented promise down the alleys. Whitewashed facades catch the sun; narrow lanes fold into shadow and the windmills crown the hill like old millers watching the harbour. A local guide leads, camera-ready, pointing out the angles that make Paraportiani’s curves photogenic and the low stone steps where fishermen once hauled nets.
