You push off Santorini’s caldera in the cool morning light, the volcanic cliffs shrinking behind you while the Aegean opens in a sweep of blue. The speedboat cuts through glassy water with the wind tugging at your jacket; within an hour the profile of Ios appears—low dunes and sun-bleached beaches—followed later by Mykonos’s whitewashed houses and windmills crouched against a relentless sky.
