You arrive as the island holds its breath—the caldera a dark bowl, the sea a sheet of silver, and the sun already angling toward its last applause. A short drive threads through Cycladic lanes to a working vineyard where vines hug volcanic ash; the air smells faintly of salt and thyme, and the guide speaks of grapes that learn to drink from fire-swept soil.
