The history

The construction of the Little Venice neighborhood is estimated to have taken place from the 13th to the mid-18th century. During that timeframe, the island used to be under Venetian rule.
Most of the houses used to belong to wealthy individuals, such as merchants or captains, hence the elegant architecture of the buildings.
In the days of yore, some of the island's most distinguished families owned a house right on the picturesque shoreline.

Many houses were later converted into chic bars, still very conspicuous by their old-world charm.
You can still sit down with your folks over endless pegs of your favorite liqueur and watch the solitary shipping vessel cruise by at the distant horizon, creating a surreal impression.
