The day starts in Chora’s narrow alleys where late-morning light skims whitewashed walls and the Aegean glints through a gap between buildings. With an app in your pocket and an offline map queued, you move at your own rhythm — pausing for an espresso, lingering on a waterfront balcony in Little Venice, or cutting uphill toward the windmills to watch the horizon sharpen as the sea dares you to keep walking.
