Mikri Venetia (Little Venice), Mykonos Island, Greece
View Original Description
Little Venice is rows of fishing houses line the waterfront with their balconies hanging over the sea at Mykonos. 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.
