Mykonos: Little Venice

In the thirteenth century the Republic of Venice took control of the island of Mykonos. A Venetian town was constructed on a small headland and later, small houses were built on the edge of a low cliff. This is what we see here. They probably did not have as many balconies as they have today. "Little Venice" is known for its many restaurants and shops. Lots of fish live in the seas here, and this local is clearly taking advantage of that, seemingly oblivious to the mass of tourist running past him towards the beckoning windmills.
