More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the short morning flight and the Aegean air hits you—salt, sun-warmed stone, and the distant drone of engines giving way to the click of cobbles underfoot. In Mykonos Town your guide threads you through narrow lanes where blue shutters and whitewashed houses lean toward each other, and the iconic row of windmills keeps a slow, patient watch over the harbor.
