Discover the Art of Glassmaking on the Island of Murano. When furnaces were banned from Venice as a fire precaution, the manufacture of exquisite glassware was transferred to Murano. You might stroll along the typical “fondamente”, dotted with numberless glass shops, and admire the unusually shaped “Santi Maria e Donato” church.

Small villages with colourful cottages, gardens in bloom, restaurants where you can taste the real traditional cuisine, sandy beaches, a tranquil seafront for lovely walks, fishermen and lacemakers: here time seems to have stopped. All this is Pellestrina island, a thin stretch of land, between the Adriatic sea and the lagoon, about 11 km long.

The long and fertile peninsula of Treporti is the shoreline between the Venice Lagoon and the Adriatic Sea. A territory born as an outpost for defending Venice, origins can be traced back to Roman times. Surrounded by the Adriatic Sea and the waters of the lagoon, the Treporti coast stretches for 15 km. It delights visitors with the variety of its landscape, the genuine hospitality of its inhabitants and its environment of great natural value.
