Little Venice - rows of fishing houses line the waterfront with their balconies hanging over the sea. The first of these was constructed in the mid-18th century. They originally belonged to rich merchants or captains and the little basement doors that provided direct access to the sea and underground storage areas led people to believe that the owners were secretly pirates. Some of the houses have now been converted into bars and cafes and little shops and galleries. Little Venice is considered one of the most romantic spots on the island and many people gather there to watch the sunset. The area attracts many artists who come to paint the picturesque coastline. Not giving 5 stars because everything is expensive over there.

Mykonos is quite the looker and there are some beautiful little streets and lanes in the old town. But nonetheless Little Venice was a bit disappointing. Firstly, it's quite a small and compact area. Many restaurants lining up. Yes, with great views. But food-wise forgettable. For a drink maybe, but you pay for the view. But even being oceanfront it didn't wow me. There are lots of beautiful spots on this planet located in front of the ocean, so this one didn't seem special enough. I was more excited about the little streets in the back. Like Santorini, Mykonos is a tourist magnet. But Santorini just has the bigger wow-factor (and has quiet spots if you walk a bit). Yes, the Old Town is nice, but as such, just Little Venice doesn't offer enough. It's worth a visit, but nothing I would run back to next time.

Kurzfassung: Erschütternd desinteressiertes, grauenhaftes Personal, gute Aussicht, hohe Preise, abwechslungsreiche Cocktails Eines vorab: Die Aussicht direkt am Wasser sitzend ist herrlich. An unserem Platz hatten wir sogar Sicht auf die bekannten Windmühlen und den Sonnenuntergang. Eingeschränkt wurde dieser Genuss leider dadurch, dass vom Personal nicht viel zu sehen war. Obwohl außer uns nur zwei andere Gäste vor Ort waren, sah es die diensthabende Bedienung lange Zeit nicht als nötig an, uns Getränkekarten auszuhändigen, sondern stand am Eingang der Semeli Bar und unterhielt sich mit jemandem. Nachdem wir irgendwann die Karten in den Händen hielten und sodann eine Bestellung abgeben wollten, dauerte es wiederum unerhört lange, bis wir bemerkt wurden, was auch daran lag, dass die Bedienung vollkommen im Innenbereich verschwand und niemand den Außenbereich im Auge behielt. Die Zubereitung unseres stattliche 28€ kostenden Riesen-Cocktails für zwei Personen (ein "normaler", für deutsche Verhältnisse aber etwas kleiner Cocktail kostet 14€) ließ auch wieder lange auf sich warten. Mit dem Cocktail wurde uns zugleich die Rechnung auf den Tisch gelegt, ohne aber eine Zahlung zu erwarten. Das Getränk selbst war nicht übermäßig begeisternd, aber durchaus sehr schmackhaft, wenn auch der Preis die Zähne knirschen lässt. Aber Mykonos ist eben etwas teuer. Am schwierigsten war das Zahlen, weil wiederum das ganze Personal im Innenraum stand oder saß und sich nicht im Geringsten um die Gäste draußen scherte. Im Allgemeinen scheint es doch gewöhnlich zu sein, dass zumindest eine Bedienung ständig darauf achtet, was draußen geschieht, oder gar - das ist auf Mykonos typisch - proaktiv auf potentielle Kunden zugeht, nur leider nicht bei der Semeli Bar. Weil unser Platz am Wasser zugleich am öffentlichen Hauptdurchgang lag, wollten wir auch nicht etwa das Geld für unser Getränk auf dem Tisch hinterlassen, sondern gingen extra an die Bar, um dort zu zahlen, wo man etwas verwirrt erschien. Wir hätten wohl auch einfach fortgehen können, ohne dass es jemanden interessiert hätte. Insgesamt verdient das Personal die denkbar schlechteste zu erteilende Wertung, die nur durch die schöne Lage ein wenig kompensiert wird.

The worst service we received in Mykonos. They advertise 2 for 1 cocktails (if you're drinking inside) which sounded pretty good but the staff were awful. We were charged €30 for 2 drinks and when I asked about the 2 for 1 offer we were told to speak to the bar when we need the next drink. I tried catching someone's attention which was impossible and eventually moved to the bar when a bartender looked at me with disgust and told me to go away. There are so many good bars in the area do yourself a favour and avoid this one.

If you want hip hop and RnB … stop by. Nice vibe. Beautiful little club. Drinks are pricey but your In Mykonos. Staff is nice. The only reason I didn’t give it a higher rating bc although the signs say “no smoking” and there aren’t any ashtrays the staff still smoked (cigarettes). Also, the later it got, they allowed the patrons to smoke cigarettes as well. The smoking thing here is Europe over all has been putting a damper on my trip. They still smoke cigarettes like it’s the 50s here. Guys… try and e-sig or something!

Extremely overpriced. If you want to have small meals which is so small that you might think it’s for your kids, come here and enjoy the pancake for 10€. More than that staff was so impolite that I almost forgot how small my pancake was. Fortunately the view was good but that’s the beauty of beach not this restaurant. I usually don’t make reviews especially bad reviews but I had to write to save tourists coming here. Don’t waste your time.
