    Beautiful maze of stores
    Today was our first day in Greece, and my wife and I couldn't have been happier spending it in Mykonos, exploring the enchanting neighborhood of Little Venice. We spent the entire day here, browsing the charming white-covered shops, purchasing cool souvenirs, and enjoying a delicious meal at the M-eatery restaurant. Little Venice is the main attraction in Mykonos, impossible to overlook amidst its maze-like streets.

    Beautiful alleys to walk
    Beautiful quaint and friendly. Enjoyed the burritos and walking the small alley ways. We like the walk along the beach and loved the restaurant recommended by the host. Enjoyed shopping on the beach.

    An iconic part of Mykonos
    Little Venice is a charming part of Mykonos. The water lapping up on the building is reminiscent of Venice. The narrow alleys contain many shops and boutiques and cafes, many of which are overpriced. But it is a nice area to stroll around in.

    Breathtaking
    While prices are on the high end (even higher than the cruise ship we sailed in), it's worth every penny, the tavernas by the edge of the Aegean sea overlooking the waterfront, it's just breathtaking. We were there at sun set, it was a spectacle of light and shade as the sun set, the water shining and the small boats at the distance. The windmills at the distance and the perfect white of the walls and the live colors of the window blinds and doors make this place UNIQUE. I can say that of my many travels, this is one of the most special and beautiful places I've seen in the world

    Cute shopping area
    The winding streets of this authentic island town were fascinating. This is the white buildings that are so picturesque in photos and it did not disappoint. We wove around the shops and restaurants and loved seeing the sights. Definitely could've spent a lot more time shopping, but we wanted to spend the majority of the day by the beach. I recommend strolling through Little Venice, visiting the Mykonos windmills, and then catching the public bus to Platis Gialis Beach for the perfect day here.

    Picturesque spot below the Windmills
    Lovely place to visit for the views and a drink by the sea. Gets VERY busy though and if it’s windy, those waves do crash over the sea walk! Definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed a drink inside one of the bars with huge windows and views- without getting wet!

    Absolutely a bucket list item!
    I did a lot of reading prior to coming but even the descriptions didn’t do this place justice. It is a very unique “village” with plant of places to sit by the sea and enjoy a drink or meal. The one downside is they really increases the prices of everything during tourist season so ask the cost of everything BEFORE you order or agree to purchase something. Also i’ve been told that this is a VERY ACTIVE party area after 9pm so be aware of that. My wife and I enjoyed drinks and dinner and had a great time before 7pm!

    A must visit when coming to Mykonos
    We stayed in Plati Yialos, Mykonos, for three nights. We came by bus to Mykonos Town every night. The bus would drop off the passengers not far from the windmills. Little Venice is the famous place where people go to see the sunset. An area full of restaurants and bars. It's a picturesque and pleasant place to have a drink. The only negative about this area is restaurants want to charge twenty-five to forty euros per person for the tables closest to the water. You can hang out next to the windmills and have the same experience.; ask before you sit down. I highly recommend coming for a visit.

    A totally unspoilt and traditional part of Mykonos town.
    Tho amazing part of Mykonos town is totally traditional by today standards . The cobblestones narrow winding streets lined with local traders offering traditional Greek items and those unique to Mykonos. With so many restaurants and bars there is something for everyone . A must if come to the island. Enjoy.

    Mad, quirky, cute, busy, gorgeous - what a place. We loved it although goodness knows what it must be like in the height of summer. Even in September at the end of the season it was busy. We just spent many an hour wandering round and staring. Gorgeous

Little Venice has style
Jun 2022 • Friends
I could not believe how many tourists can squeeze into these small alleys. It was a great way to see the little shops in the side streets. Best of all there was a Pelican in one of the restaurants just cleaning himself. We all just walked around him. Great to see nature mix with people and we all can work together. The shop owners are very friendly and do t hesitate to haggle for a hat or scarf.

Worth a quick stop by and photo
Jun 2021 • Solo
Visited to check out the hype. It’s a nice small cove and really a little taste of Venice with its small pathways; waterside dining and strange smells.

Found the restaurants / drinks to be quite overpriced vs other locations in Mykonos although understandable as it’s very touristy. The main bars don’t open until 630pm evening so worth bearing in mind but there were a few restaurants open in the day.

It’s also very close to the famous Mykonos windmills too which is around a 5 minute walk away.

Rip off city - visit once and then go into the old town.
May 2022
My advice? Visit once as that is all it warrants in my opinion! We considered that Little Venice was just the stretch of buildings that abutted the sea and so we visited just to be able to see what the fuss was about and we were suitably disappointed. The area is small and the only similarity to Venice is that the sea laps up to the walls of the restaurants and bars.
The bars and restaurants were, in my opinion, vastly overpriced and only suitable for those who feel that they need to be fed and watered at such establishments. There is another group of people who will visit and they are those wishing to catch a glimpse of the glitterati that seem to frequent the town.
The stretch also gets extremely busy and nigh on impassable when the cruise ships visit and the passengers descend on Little Venice.
If visitors want to be impressed visit the rest of the town which has some glorious architecture and sights to see, much better than Little Venice.

BEAUTIFUL

A beautiful place for sunset and drinks. In the evening many bars with dance music. Everything is a little bit expensive but you're at 'little Venice' and this view is unique !! Friendly staff in all the different places we went. Many tourists of course, so were we :-)

Little Venice a Must See if you are on Mykonos
Jun 2021 • Couples
Little Venice is an unusually designed part of MYKONOS that has the architecture of Venice and the sea slapping against the seawall creating a perfect setting for a splendid way to end the day.

The combination of the breeze and the sea slapping creates a rhythm that blends well with the cacophony of the people sitting and Milling Around that you don’t find in many places .

The Only thing that ruins the ambience is that unfortunately they still allow smoking and when the tables of four and six smoke frenetically it spoils the quality of air To the degree that it is unhealthy.

Rude and super expensive bars.
Aug 2021 • Couples
Little Venice is a beautiful place next to the sea with the view of the windmills.
The problem is with all these cafe bars there which are really destroy the beauty of the place.
60 € per person to be there or 500 € for a table with a bottle.
They react like pimps and generally are rude.
Next to the bars there is a area which you can have the same view without those pimps.
If you want to see the view and not show your money, you can take a beer from a kiosk and take it easy there.
