Perched atop an immaculately restored mill that is now home to the Hilton Molino Stucky Hotel, Skyline Bar is a light and airy lounge that serves exquisite fruit and herb cocktails complemented by excellent views of the city. It’s lovely by day and very romantic at night, with the lights of Venice twinkling on the water. . There’s an extensive cocktail list and although it’s expensive, the bar’s two terraces are a lovely place to linger with a early evening drink. Take a public boat (nearest stop Palanca) or the hotel’s shuttle service to the Giudecca island.

In terms of local lounges it ranks at the top, both geographically and socially from its rooftop location a top the Adriana Hotel on Hvar harbor. From a groovy lobby lounge with its own following, guests arrive to the rooftop with walls pulsating in ambient blue lighting as martini drinkers in their designer resort wear sit on low-flung sofas and groovy club chairs arranged facing oversize windows overlooking Hvar harbor. An outdoor terrace connects to several lounge areas arranged in weatherized rattan with cushy pillows and flickering candlelit.

Nibbling on dim sum while gazing at the Acropolis can feel a bit surreal, but the Galaxy Bar serves up an Oriental, rather than meze, snack menu on its open-air terrace.
