Field notes

Cyclades island and the most concentrated nightlife scene in the Mediterranean — the post-1970s celebrity-and-LGBTQ tourist economy structurally shaped the island's character. Mykonos Town (Chora) — the dense walkable Cycladic-architecture core — is the iconic anchor; Ornos and Platis Gialos are the calmer beach-resort alternatives. Same Greek DNV. The structural draws are the genuinely-iconic Cycladic architecture (white cubic houses, blue-domed churches, windmills) and the deepest summer party scene in Europe. The structural cost is peak Greek-island prices (rents and dining run materially higher than mainland Greek peers).

Mediterranean (Cyclades) — virtually identical climate to Santorini (the islands are 100km apart). Summer is bone-dry and hot; winter is mild and rainy. The meltemi wind is structural in July–August — beach umbrellas and outdoor seating struggle in 40+ km/h gusts.
