About Travel & Places
The Greek island world runs on light and salt air. Whitewashed walls throw back the midday sun, cats doze on warm stone steps, and somewhere below the terrace a caique bobs in a harbor that has sheltered boats for three thousand years. In the villages of Santorini, Mykonos, and the scattered Cyclades, the blue of every dome seems borrowed from the sea itself — and the smell of wild thyme on the hillside trails you all the way to the waterfront taverna.
