The islands of Venice between nature and man-made beauty

Hidden in the lagoon are hundreds of small islands, far removed from the typical tourist routes, where the traditions of the past have been perfectly preserved. This little-known side of Venice moves at a more relaxed pace. Alongside a tour guide, set sail for Murano, the "Glass Island", to watch a glassmaking demonstration in the historic workshops. Admire the techniques of the glassblowers, passed down through the generations, as they bring their fragile yet precious creations to life. After a stroll through the centre of the island, continue your journey until you catch a glimpse of the colourful houses of Burano, the small fishing island famous for its embroidery, lace and crochet work. Having explored the streets and squares overlooking the water, you can relax for a short lunch and sample some traditional dishes. Enjoy the peaceful ambiance while looking out at the small islands on the horizon, for a unique multi-sensory experience.
