After a brief ride in a sleek black SUV from the sun-baked private runway, we arrived at a sprawling architectural marvel of glass, polished teak, and white concrete perched on the edge of a cliff. The air here was different—heavy with the scent of blooming white roses, ancient olive trees, and the salty kiss of the Aegean Sea.
