Morning light skims the sugar‑white houses of Mykonos Town as a private vehicle eases onto a coastal road. The wind — constant and bracing — pushes the sea into a scatter of glittering panes; low cliffs and small bays appear between scrubby maquis and stone walls. In three to four hours a local driver‑guide threads these contrasts: windswept beaches, an austere lighthouse, and a slow village square where time moves by espresso and church bells.
