It is not that spectacular but it is a place worth having a few drinks and take some pictures. It seems to me that while the title of Little Venice is a bit of a misnomer because it has no canals or bridges like in Venice, it is a scenic corner of town. However, it is a charming corner in Mykonos with a lot of magic. Just below the windmills, wealthy local shipping merchants built a row of picturesque houses with brightly painted wooden balconies on the sea along the bay. The embankment is lined with restaurants, cafes, and cocktail bars, crowded every night with tourists enjoying the sunset. It is picturesque to see the sea waves burst on the shore of the restaurants windows. You can take great pictures from here but if you are on a table that is too close to the edge strong waves could splash water on you. Having a drink or dinner right on the sea, watching the rocks in the background and watching the waves of the sea hit the restaurant window. Enjoy getting lost in Mykonos, through its streets, and reach that little corner, Little Venice, with pricey restaurants (prices are exorbitant) and windmills in the background.

Lovely area to stroll, dine, have a cocktail, or just people watch. In the evening there is an endless parade of those who are looking to see - or be seen. Anything goes from those that look like thy are on a photoshoot, to those who look like they just came off a hike or the beach. It can be a challenge to eat your dinner at your reserved sunset table when people are practically sitting in your lap as they lean in to get that perfect selfie with the sunset in the background. It can be a bit much at times. But the experience is definitely worth it.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect for lunch. Perfect for cocktails. And perfect for the sunset. There are spectacular views of the sunset from this location. Lots of bars along this strip. We recommend Scarpa, one of the only few that make their cocktails with the correct level of alcohol. Superb music. It is buzzy and lively along here. Very touristy but actually not tacky. The water constantly smashes on the rocks and occasionally wets walkers as they pass through. It is the perfect place for sunset and cocktails. Enjoy.

Very small and very cramped. The ocean comes right up to the path and you can even get some splashing from the waves. Confusing on setup when coming from the windmills, and you have to walk awkwardly through restaurant on that side to get back into town. Go take a picture and leave. Unless a restaurant catches your eye

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 :-)

Did remind me of our Venice trip.
It could get crowded at certain time so if you want to take great photos…try avoid rush hours (happy hours, dinners are usually crowded hours).
There’s great view of windmills from here as well.

Personally I hate such comparisons and giving nicknames of some famous world city or landmark.
This part of Mykonos town has several houses hanging above the sea and that's the only similarity to Venice. Moreover the houses are sea facing, not on canals, there are no bridges nor gondolas or even boats.
But, that probably sounded like a good marketing idea to promote this, undoubtedly picturesque part of Mykonos town, so you will find here the most expensive bars and restaurants facing the sea, as well likewise shops and galleries on the opposite inland side.
You can admire this beautiful view for free from the benches at a small beach nearby or from the windmills with your purchased drink from any kiosk around.

We’re staying in one of the little balcony places in Little Venice. Is it possible to access the water right there?

Hello
No. You are at the water but those places are only for drinks and food. The closest place you can access the water from there is the old port.

Is it possible to walk from the Port to the old town?

If you mean the port where the cruise ships dock it is too far to walk to the old town. However a bus runs from the port into the old town plus you can get on the little ferry that takes you to the old town beach and it costs around 2 euro and is very frequent.

Hello,
My family is traveling to Mykonos late Sept. They have a one day stop off of the cruise ship. They want to visit Little Venice and then experience a beach club and a enjoy a beautiful beach. Suggestions as to which beach club is closest to Little Venice or would be a short cab ride from there? Or suggestions on how to transport from Little Venice to a beach club other than a taxi. Looking for a more exclusive, luxurious beach club for a splurge. We also have family who are looking to renew their vows while in Mykonos for their 25th wedding anniversary. They will be traveling with the minister so they are just looking for a beautiful beach spot to casually be able to do this. They were hoping to find a beach club with a perfect spot to have this special private moment. Thanks in advance for your help.

Food was divine, great choice of drinks and cocktails, as we as excellent service
They have a shuttle bus to take the guest to the town centre.
The Bar has a panoramic view to see the sunset.

Just take a taxi from the port and the driver will take you there. It’s very close from the port though.

Little Venice is a must see along with Windmills and Church. Luckily not too busy when we were there but understand like other respondents have said that best to avoid when tour boats in.

He readers, I'd like to ask many questions about Greek islands.
We are traveling to Santorini - Mykonos - Athens on 16-21 Sep. We are more like a night out tourists, but we love to spectate good views or scenes around.
1)What is the best app or websites for ferries from Santorini to Mykonos and Mykonos to Athens??
2)I'd like to visit blue cave but I haven't found one around the places we are going to, if you can suggest any nice cool places to visit and how to go, that'd be appreciated.
3)Which (private) boat service is good around Mykonos (cheap but not below the average standard) if we would like to surf around and maybe snorkel. And can we book online as well?
4)I heard from a friend that Mykonos is a party island, so far I haven't seen much about it on TripAdvisor
5)I was told that cheese and wine are much cheaper than in the U.K., we'll definitely stuff cheese and wine. I'd like to know if we should go on a wine farm tour? And is there any specialty or a special kind of cheese and wine we shouldn't miss?
Thank you,
Felix

I loved Mykonos but it's extremely expensive an example 17 euros for a gin and tonic in a bar. The Jackie O bar is a lot of fun .

Hola! según vuestros comentarios, una buena opción es alojarse en la zona de playa Platis Gialos, pero me gustaría tener fácil acceso por la noche a la Pequeña Venecia. ¿Cuál sería el precio de un taxi? ¿Hay buses para hacer el recorrido? Gracias

Hola, yo estuve por el día, pero hay un buen sistema de buses, te dejan en una especie de terminal cerca, pero ademas hay taxis en general no veo problema para movilizarse en la isla.

Depends on where you go. Most of the islands are vacant from October 1 to April1 due to off season. If you are traveling on the mainland any time should be ok, maybe cool in January but not cold

We stayed at a place called Vencia- not in little Venice but everything is close. Right above the town. Great place with a good view and infinite pool. I would go back.
So many clubs that the whole place is like one big club. You just walk and follow the music.
People wear easy clothes. Itching really fancy. My gf didn't wear high heels. Bc of the cobble stones. I totally suggest that.
You'll party here like you've never partied. Totally different atmosphere.
