The van leaves Chora with the Aegean light slanting low, and the island immediately changes tone: wind-carved scrub, whitewashed houses catching the last heat, and a road that seems to lean toward the sea. On a private sunset escape you trade the crowded waterfront for hilltop silence — the sea daring you to look farther, the wind urging you to move faster as color builds.
