You step off the air-conditioned van onto sun-warmed stone and the air immediately tastes of salt and sage. Mykonos Town (Chora) opens like a map of narrow streets — white cubic houses, brightly painted shutters, and the murmur of cafes spilling onto alleys. The wind that once turned the island’s mills now pushes you toward windows of Little Venice and the high perch of Kato Mili.
