Mini Venice

Introduction

Little Venice is Mykonos's most romantic, atmospheric seaside district—rows of colorful old houses built right against the water, balconies seemingly hovering over the waves, paired with a beautiful sunset, Mykonos's most charming picture. Mykonos is one of the most famous, fashionable holiday islands in the Cyclades of the Aegean, known for its white towns, blue water, charming beaches and romantic atmosphere. Little Venice is the most atmospheric, romantic district by Mykonos Town's waterfront. Here, rows of old houses are built tightly along the coastline, one face directly facing the sea—colorful walls, wooden balconies and windows jut over the water, as if hovering above the waves, with surf lapping the house foundations below, a distinctive seaside flavor (this unique sight of houses clinging to the water evokes Venice, Italy, hence the name Little Venice). These seaside old houses are now mostly turned into atmospheric cafés, bars and restaurants—visitors can sit at seaside seats, sipping coffee or wine while looking at the close-by blue sea and breaking waves, cozy and romantic. Little Venice's most desirable moment is the dusk sunset—it faces the Aegean sunset direction, a prime spot in Mykonos to enjoy the sunset: as the sun slowly sinks into the Aegean, gilding the sky, sea and seaside colorful old houses in brilliant gold-red, the romantic atmosphere peaks, intoxicating and unforgettable. Visiting Mykonos, strolling romantic Little Venice and awaiting the Aegean sunset at seaside old houses is a must-see sight on Mykonos.
