Between the Castle of Mykonos and Scarpa area is the picturesque and beautiful neighborhood that with its colorful balconies looks like it is hanging over the sea. In Little Venice or Alefkandra in Mykonos Town, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in Greece. It is a district that began to be built from the middle of the 18th century and consisted of residences of rich merchants and captains. Excellent architecture with colorful windows, doors, stairs, wooden balconies that literally get wet from the wave and remind a lot of the well-known Italian city! Little Venice is one of the most picturesque locations on the island, and a meeting point for romantic souls visiting the island. Rows of medieval two- and three-story houses stand literally on the edge of the sea, their wooden balconies hanging over the waves. Today, most of them function as bars, cafes, shops and art galleries. Visiting this spot is definitely worth it while the sun is setting, while enjoying a coffee or a cocktail. In the afternoons, hundreds of visitors gather here to admire one of the most beautiful sunsets of the Aegean, but an equally enchanting sight is when there is bad weather and the wild sea hits the rocks and houses.

One of the most famous spots in Mykonos, just after the Windmills, is Little Venice which is a spot in the edge of Alefkandra bay with a promenade surrounded by bars and restaurants. The view from here is amazing and will notice why this place is named after its big sister in Italy. The houses built at the edge of the rocks, the cobblestone pathways and the narrow alleys nearby, resembles the same picturesque scene like in Venice, Italy. This place is quite bustling all times, due to the surrounding attractions, but if you are morning person surely will find this spot only for you and your camera. Do not miss the chance to get a table at some of the restaurants here to have something to eat or drink whilst enjoying the landscape and the avid movement of the waves at the edge of the shore.

This neighborhood is replete with beautiful and historical old houses that are situated precariously on the edge of the sea. The neighborhood starts at the Alefkandra beach and extends right into the peripheral areas of Kastro, as it is popularly referred to. The construction of the Little Venice neighborhood is estimated to have taken place from the 13th to the mid-18th century. During this timeframe, the island used to be under the Venetian rule. Most of these houses used to belong to wealthy persons, such as merchants or captains, hence the elegant architecture of the buildings. In the days of yore, some of the island's most distinguished families owned a house right on the picturesque shoreline. Many of these houses were later converted into restaurants and cafes which are still very conspicuous by their old world charm.

It's a scenic spot for sure but I think it is slightly overrated as a specific point of interest. Actually the entire area, comprising of the Windmills of Mykonos, Little Venice, Old Harbour front, Panagia Paraportiani and the shopping & food areas of Matogianni street, is together and forms one large area to be visited in Mykonos. Everything is close by, 10 mins walking distance from each other (or less) and can be covered by spending 3-4 hours in this area, at a leisurely pace. Little Venice is more interesting if you actually sit in one of the small bars/restaurants on the sidewalk of Little Venice, literally over the water without any guardrails and watch the sunset on one side and the Windmills of Mykonos on the other. Pricey places but worth the experience.

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
