View of Alefkandra (Little Venice)

5.4
4.6/5
90 reviews
View of Alefkandra (Little Venice)is located on the waterfront of Mykonos Town on the island of Mykonos, Greece, and is one of the island's iconic sights. There is no wide coastal boulevard here, but rather a row of ancient mansions clinging to the sea. Colorful walls, white exteriors, wooden galleries, and seaside balconies together form a unique coastal view. Red, blue, and ochre window frames dot the pristine white walls, while wooden balconies hang over the sea, swaying gently in the sea breeze and exuding a leisurely and romantic atmosphere. Walking into the neighborhood, narrow, winding cobblestone alleys stretch between the white houses. Turning a corner, you can often encounter a brightly colored window, a quiet little courtyard, or a hidden corner with a view of the blue sea.Mykonos · 33.7km from Ermoupoli

Paradise Beach

4.1/5

Paradise Beachis located on the southern coast of Mykonos, Greece, and is an iconic seaside attraction on the island. It features an open bay, stretches of fine golden sand, and clear azure waters, showcasing typical Aegean coastal scenery. The beach stretches along the coast, with soft sand glowing warmly in the sunlight, while the water transitions from a shallow cyan near the shore to a deep, clear blue, offering a refreshing and relaxing experience. Because the bay faces south, its topography is relatively sheltered from the strong winds that prevail in summer. Even when it is windy elsewhere on the island, the sea here can sometimes remain relatively calm, making it suitable for swimming, sunbathing, and seaside relaxation. Strolling along the beach, you can see several beach clubs distributed in different areas, with parasols, sun loungers, and seaside lounge areas dotting the golden sand. During the day, visitors can lie on the beach to enjoy the sun or step into the cool water to admire the vast horizon in the distance.Mykonos · 36.3km from Ermoupoli

Oia is located on the northern cape of Santorini, built along the cliffs, with white-walled, blue-domed houses and churches layered along the inner cliffs of the caldera. Sunset is the most iconic view here. Each evening, visitors follow the main path to the town's western end. The west end has two main free viewing spots: one is a seaside platform beside the castle ruins, where the remaining stone tower walls hang on the cliff edge, offering expansive views, and the other is a small square below the windmills, where several traditional windmills are silhouetted against the sunset. You can also book a cliffside restaurant in advance and dine while watching the sun sink below the horizon. The town is also worth exploring slowly during the day. Walking the cliff path through narrow white alleys, you will pass several blue-domed churches, and the three connected blue-domed churches make the classic postcard scene. A few old windmills stand at the town's northern end, another iconic view. At night, shops along the stone alleys mostly stay open late, and bars gradually become lively. If you have time, choose a seafront cave house for a night, and when you open the window you will see the sea toward the caldera.Greece · Santorini

The harbour windmill, also known as the Katyr Milli windmill, is a five Cycladic-style windmill built in the 16th century with a thatched roof. Here you can see the beautiful view of the whole city. The windmills stir the sea breeze, the seagulls in the Aegean Sea and the characteristic white houses on the island have a panoramic view, and Mykonos is also called "the island of windmills". In Mykonos, where the wind is strong, windmills were originally used to grind wheat, but now they are no longer in use, but they have become a beautiful landscape.Mykonos · 33.7km from Ermoupoli

Corinth Canalis a unique view that blends human engineering with natural terrain. The canal cuts through the hard rock of the isthmus, directly connecting the Saronic Gulf on the Aegean Sea side with the Gulf of Corinth on the Ionian Sea side, allowing ships to cross this narrow strip of land without having to sail around the Peloponnese peninsula. The canal is approx. 6 km long, the waterway is at sea level with no locks, showcasing the ingenuity of its construction and adding a breathtaking sight to the coastal landscape of Greece. The canal cuts deep into the ground from the surface, forming a narrow and straight gorge, with limestone cliffs on both sides rising nearly vertically, tens of meters above the water.Greece · Loutraki-Perachora

Three Bells of Firais one of Santorini, Greece's most iconic landmarks, attracting many visitors. The whitewashed walls, vivid blue dome, and the deep blue Aegean Sea complement each other, creating a highly recognizable Mediterranean scene. Its clean architectural lines blend with the vast sea and sky, showcasing the pure beauty of traditional Greek architecture and conveying the island's calm and romantic atmosphere. This church is located along the cliffside path between Fira and Firostefani, right at the edge of the caldera. The church is small in scale, but its delicate form and unique location make it especially eye-catching. The white buildings are terraced into the hillside, and the blue dome looks especially bright in the sunlight. The adjacent bell tower and the layered whitewashed houses together form an elegant composition. Below the church are steep cliffs, and beyond them lies the deep caldera bay. The unique topography gives the site unforgettable visual depth.Greece · Fira

Palapoldini Church, located in the Kastro district, is the famous white church in Mykonos and a gem of Byzantine churches, consisting of four churches in one. The church is divided into upper and lower floors, the upper chapel is now closed, and the lower chapel has a small door, so it is also called "little door church".Mykonos · 33.7km from Ermoupoli

Firais located on the caldera cliffs in the west of Santorini, Greece. Built into the hillside, the town features whitewashed houses spreading layer by layer along cliffs hundreds of meters high, where blue-domed churches, narrow cobblestone alleys, and well-arranged terraces weave together into a charming picture. In the distance, the deep blue Aegean Sea and the islands within the caldera complement each other, attracting many visitors. Strolling through the streets of Fira, you can see traditional houses with white walls and blue windows, exquisite souvenir shops, specialty cafes, and various restaurants everywhere. Winding paths sometimes pass through quiet residential areas and sometimes lead to cliffside viewing platforms with expansive views. Standing on the cliff edge and looking out, the deep blue seawater surrounds the volcanic islands, and the layered mountain and sea views are refreshing.Greece · Fira

I didn't expect there is such a place in the city center. The transportation here is also very easy. It is really beautiful here, completely different from the hustle and bustle downstairs. I really like the scenery here, which is very Greek in style.

If you're young, that beach is a must-visit on Mykonos. You can eat, drink, and have fun in a beautiful environment, carefree as a group of young people party, with the waves crashing around you to your rhythm. That's the scene I witnessed.

As evening falls in Santorini, tourists have already found their vantage points, sitting or standing quietly, waiting. The once bustling paths gradually empty out, the crowds converging on the cliff edge, becoming the first fixed scene before sunset. Standing on the steps of the blue and white houses, watching the sunset transform the sky from orange-pink to golden-red, then slowly into a golden hue, the town itself seems draped in a golden veil, so beautiful it makes you forget everything. Finally, the entire sunset glow sinks into the Aegean Sea, even the surface is covered with shimmering gold, the wind carries the light scent of sea salt and olive trees, there is no noise, only the sound of the waves lapping the shore, slowing down along with the light and shadow.

We experienced a comfortable tour for 3 days on the beautiful island. We drove to a lot of scenery. It was very easy to rent a car or scooter. Then you can go anywhere more convenient. Finally It was very unforgettable journey ☺️

These windmills where used to grind grains in olden days before electricity. Probably 17th or 18th century. However not these 7 windmills are been preserved and serve as the icon of Mykonos.Spectacular view of the old port and little Venice... Lots of parking space though very crowded.. Amazing hotel south of the windmills.You can see the windmills from practically every hill in Mykonos.

Delos is an island in the Aegean Sea, the heart of the Cyclades. This time it was because I booked a cruise trip, and this was one of the stops. I finally went for a swim in the sea. Although it was extremely salty, it was still quite refreshing. There are many cats on the island. If you don’t visit any musee, you don’t have to pay extra. The two of us didn't follow the tour guide and stumbled onto the most classic place.

We stopped in Zakynthos on our drive to Athens. The narrow, man-made canal, with its towering, steep cliffs, is visually stunning. Standing on the bridge, the cliffs appear nearly 100 meters high – truly breathtaking. We arrived late, so we missed the daytime blue-green waters, but the warm, dusky lights illuminating the banks and the long, narrow canal stretching into the distance created a captivating atmosphere. We were still awestruck by the magnificent sight. No need to take a special detour; a short stop off the highway is perfect for sightseeing and definitely worth stopping for.

If Santorini is a business card of Greece, then the blue-domed church should be the business card of Santorini, because at some point it was on the cover of National Geographic Magazine, and thus became a globally known attraction. What’s more coincidental is that this attraction is so simple and straightforward that it’s almost otherworldly. You don’t need high-level photography skills or think about angles. Just the “click” at the entrance is the undisputed best of the day.

It is the most famous of the 360 ​​churches on the island of Mykonos. Because it is so pure white, people call it the Marshmallow Church. A large number of white buildings look like salt mountains and have a very unique shape.

There is also a cliff hotel view, but the view is worse than that of Oia town. There are many small shops and a strong commercial atmosphere. The roads are very narrow. If you encounter cruise ship passengers, you have to queue when walking.
