The colorful balconies of Little Venice houses in Mykonos overlooking directly onto the Aegean Sea
The image shows the row of houses that characterizes the Little Venice quarter, seen from sea level. The buildings, constructed in the 18th century by merchants, feature white facades with balconies and wooden verandas painted in various shades: from blue to red, from brown to green. The constructions overlook directly onto the water, with foundations lapped by Aegean waves. Some ground floors now house bars and restaurants with terraces on the sea, where tourists can sip cocktails while admiring the sunset. The upper floor dwellings retain their original appearance with wooden shutters and small flowered balconies. In the distance, the island hills can be glimpsed. This unique architecture, reminiscent of Venice canals, gave its name to the most romantic quarter of Mykonos.
