Little Venice   

Buildings are built right on the sea’s edge, with the sea’s waves kissing the balconies.  This island was once a Pirate island in the 16th or 17th century.  So this place was used for quick loading and unloading of goods. Now, these buildings are turned into antique bars, cafes, and restaurants. Lunch here is preferred for pretty views and to enjoy the sound of waves and winds.

  1. We have been to Greece but have yet to visit Mykonos! We’ve always wanted to go. Those iconic whitewashed houses with blue roofs and that its so vibrant is so great. Your list of the best things to do will be helpful for our future plans.

  2. As I live in Crete, I am forever grateful that I have many opportunities to visit many parts of Greece and her Islands never disappoints. 🇬🇷 💙

  3. I love Greece & can’t wait to go back again. I’ve been island hopping in the Cyclades 6 times now & it always delivers. I’ve not been to Mykonos for many years as I was put off by the sheer volume of people whenever a cruise ship arrived (e.g. all the time!) but maybe it’s time to go back…maybe next year;)

  4. Mykonos Street with its cobbled stone, beautiful windows and doors looks like the never ending place for exploring. A beautiful place to get lost. White sandy beaches around the island look great for a relaxation as well. I would say one shouldn’t miss the trip to the lighthouse to see the sunset. The view is amazing!

  5. Thanks for sharing this post. Very useful as I was traveling to the island and some of the points helped. The windmill is very impressive. Your photos are brilliant as well. Thanks fir sharing

    1. Great you are visiting shortly to Mykonos and some tips helped you. You can check other Greece posts for your tour planning.

  6. I love love love Greece! I have never been to Mykonos but I have visited several other islands. And I am a big fan. I used to always buy a wall calendar for the next year so I each month I would have a new picture of Greece on my wall. Very good info on this post!

  7. I’ve always thought that the streets in Mykonos were so confusing to navigate, but I had no idea that it was built like that on purpose! I wish I would’ve had more time to spend on Mykonos to check out all these areas, but will be keeping this guide for next time!

  8. I’ve made a Greece itinerary for one of my follower and now I’ll probably update it with the things mentioned above, and then submit. 😀 Thanks for sharing.
