Little Venice, Mykonos
Sleep all day, party all night
A night bar on the water in Little Venice that runs late. The doors open at 10:30, so breakfast, cocktails and the sunset come first.
The place
Sunset, saxophone and celebration in the most iconic spot in Little Venice.
We sit on the water, behind the sea-facing windows, with the windmills across the bay and the waves close enough to hear. Named for George Bao, the pirate who defended this shore in 1770 from the small island you can still see through the window. The bar opens at 10:30 and runs late into the night.
The film
One evening, from the water
The light going over Little Venice, the terrace filling, and the room after dark. Thirty seconds.
After Sunset Saxo Party, 20:30
When the sun goes, the saxophone starts
A live saxophone over the water, playing against the DJ as the last of the light leaves the bay. It is the moment the evening turns, and the reason a lot of people come back.
Live saxophone
Golden Hour Ritual
Front row, then the volume comes up
Tables at the water's edge under macramé parasols, the windmills across the bay, sea spray when the tide is high. Most places in Little Venice sell you the view. Here the music starts before the sun is down.
