You step off the ferry into a bright, wind-swept Chora where white houses crowd the harbor and a salty breeze already tugs at your jacket. The tour bus hums to life and, over the next eight hours, the island opens in chapters: ancient marble, terraced olive groves, stone-paved alleys and a coastline that dares you to slow down.
