Hotels near Little Venice Waterfront

Little Venice (Alefkandra) is a 200 m line of 17th and 18th century merchants' houses built right at the water's edge in the south-west corner of Chora. The colourful balconies once let smugglers haul contraband straight up from boats - today the same balconies hold cocktail tables. The waterfront has the best sunset view on the island, looking towards Delos and Rinia. Caprice Bar, Galleraki and Scarpa are the famous spots; expect 18-25 EUR for a cocktail in 2026 and arrive by 19:30 to grab a table on the waterline. Below the bars, an unofficial path along the rocks lets you sit free with your feet in the sea.

Pro Tip: Book a table at 180 Sunset Bar above Little Venice for the same view at half the noise - reservations open 30 days ahead.
