After sailing past the island of San Giorgio
Maggiore, the Public Gardens, the tip of
Sant'Elena and the famous Lido beach resort, the
boat arrives in Murano, known throughout the
world for its glass manufacturing industry. Here
we stop for around 40 minutes to visit to one of
the factories. The second stop is at the
picturesque island of Burano, famous not only
for its lace but also for the fishermen's houses
painted in bright colours. The stop will last
about 30 minutes. Then after a short cruise, we
reach Torcello, the earliest centre of
civilization in the estuary. Only the Cathedral
with its magnificent mosaics and the church of
Santa Fosca remain as testimony of its former
glory. The stop will be for about 30 minutes
then we return to St.Mark's Square.
Transportation by boat,
