Little Venice | Mykonos island

Little Venice is one of the most beautiful, most photographed and certainly the most romantic places in the whole Mykonos. Favorite activity (besides photographing) for all those who find themselves in the city's most western corner is watching the sunset with a mandatory cocktails sipping in one of the numerous bars and cafes, such as: Scarpa, Semeli, Gallery...

Little Venice consists of the rows of whitewashed houses with direct access to the sea. Their balconies, painted in vivid colors, cheerfully hang over the mischievous water.
