Venice lagoon

Chioggia

Navigate on the lagoon of Venise in one of the lost beautiful sites in Europe. Sleepy villages, historic sites from island to island to the end of the lagoon, the Venetian hinterland reveals its treasures during this cruise on your boat, rich in discovery of natural preserved sites and pretty villages.
Separated from the sea by a narrow spit the lagoon reveals its immensity.

Superb small villages linked by bridges to the mainland, Chioggia and its amazing fish market constitutes, to the South, the first port of the lagoon towards the sea. Following the channels go to the traditional fishing villages of Pellestrina with its ochre and yellow houses. After the mouth of the Malamocco, fix your course on Venise. Little by little the bell tower of St Mark's square comes over the horizon: the arrival in Venise from the water affords the discovery of the spectacular views of the Sérénissime, with the Basilica and the Doges palace.

Going back to the North, romantic islands float by : Murano and its glass craftsmen, Burano and its perched bell tower, the island of crochery where the welcoming atmosphere of Galuppi street enables you dicover the crochets, or Torcello, and its archeological treasures.

At the extreme North East of the lagoon, Marano, at the heart of a natural reserve is the most northerly lagoon centre in the Adriatic. Its ancient citadelle, surrounded by forests is still home to a fishing community.
