About The Greek Isles
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.
