Among the most iconic image of Mykonos — the colorful 18th-century fishing houses of Little Venice, their wooden balconies hanging directly over the Aegean, with the Kato Mili windmills behind. Katerina's Bar is the most famous sunset spot (book a balcony table). Galleraki and Caprice are the alternatives. Arrive by 7pm in summer to secure a waterfront position — later and you're fighting the crowds.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The sacred birthplace of Apollo and a significant archaeological sites in the Aegean. Boats run from Mykonos in 30 minutes. The entire island is an open-air museum — allow 3–4 hours for a thorough visit.
What Stands Out
- The most iconic visual of Mykonos: colorful houses over the water, windmills behind
- Katerina's Bar: the most photographed bar position in Greece — book a balcony table
- Galleraki and Caprice: alternatives if Katerina's is full
- Arrival time: 7pm latest in summer for waterfront tables
- Note: Little Venice is part of Mykonos Town — walk here from anywhere in town in 10 min
- Post-sunset: transition to the Old Port tavernas and Matoyianni Street for dinner
