Introduction
Little Venice lines the western shore of Mykonos Town: a row of 18th- and 19th-century coloured houses perched directly on the rocks, wooden balconies hanging over the waves. Once homes of wealthy merchants and pirates, their ground-floor doors famously opened to the sea for unloading cargo. Today the old warehouses house the island's most stylish cafes, bars and restaurants, terraces facing the Aegean. At sunset, waves slap the foundations and golden light floods the whitewash — the island's most famous sundowner spot, a short stroll from the five white windmills above.
