You step from the shaded doorway of a whitewashed alley into a stretch of sun and sea: Mykonos Town glitters on the headland while the Aegean dares you toward Delos. In a private vehicle the island unfolds in measured chapters—coastal viewpoints, wind-blasted beaches, a 19th-century lighthouse keeping watch, and the slow, communal heart of Ano Mera.
