The code name of this post was “drunk at the bar” but I chose to call it “Le rêve” (the dream) because this place instantly became my favorite in the world to have drinks.
We went there with my friends Carole and Marilena, the evening before we left. The Caprice is in Little Venice, Mykonos. The design is sublime, minimalist and happy, very Greek. The music is perfect, from Billie Holiday to Pharrell, and you find yourself dancing on the tables without even realizing. I mean even more so if you ordered delicious cocktails before.
The Caprice is located exactly in front of the sunset. The idea is to get there a little before and to take your time. When the colors turn to orange and red and the atmosphere becomes softer, everyone gets in the windows or on the small pathway between the bar and the sea and takes pictures, chats and shares drinks. It’s really the best moment ever.
And then, you’re totally drunk and you dance on the tables.

Marilena and Carole are wearing tops and shirts from Wildwood, our friend Melissa’s brand that I will tell you about very soon. I am wearing a dress from Ten over Six.

The best island in Greece and…Santorini Maybe your next destination?
I wouldn’t have been mad at you if you had gone with the original name for this post, but Le Reve is a good second choice. This place looks heavenly.

Les photos et ton texte m’ont donnée envie d’être transportée directement à Mykonos, là, maintenant, tout de suite ! On a presque l’impression d’y être, de respirer la Grande Bleue !
En tout cas, les photos sont juste sublimissimes !

That place looks like a dream. Can’t wait to have a cocktail (or five) there one day ;)
I would love to see more pictures of you, Garance on vacation!!
Wow, stunning! Looks like a dream!
Les fenetres ouvrant sur la mer, les murs blancs, les coussins turquoises et le soleil couchant, tout ce que j’aime en mediterrannee.
Par tes photos et tes commentaires tu nous fais rever….et nous restons à bout de souffle face à ton paradis! MERCI
What a stunning place! I hope to be able to re-visit Greece sometime soon–and this place is definitely at the top of my list. Beautiful & inspiring photography as always!

Très jolies photos! évasion , espace, dépaysement, calme … et bonnes rigolades.
Je connais mal la méditerranée. Merci pour ce petit tour d’horizon “touristique” tourné vers la Grèce
Just one word about this photo and place : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !! ?

I like Caprice too! A Greek friend of mine owns one of those old fishing houses almost right above it, which makes it impossible to sleep at night, but then again who sleeps in Mykonos ;)
Ta coupe de cheveux est juste MAGNIFIQUE Garance !
top ! top ! top ! J’aime beaucoup l’effet en arrière ;)
amazing!

merci Garance !
merci pour ces quelques minutes de rêve !
Garance I was hoping to pump into you at Mykonos. At my 20’s Caprice was my every summer bar destination to the island after swim and before drunk shopping! This summer at the age of 36, I introduced Caprice to my husband which he found amazing. All time classic….Hope to see you in many more greek islands the years to come.
Ahh! These photos are absolutely beautiful! I already miss summer: the travelling part. I live in the Middle East so not really loving the 43 degree celsius heat. Love every post on this page. Keep up the good work!
