Excursion to the Islands - Murano, Burano adn Torcello

After sailing past the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the public Gardens, the tip of Sant'Elena and the Lido, the famous beach resort, the boat arrives at Murano known throughout the world for its glass manufacturing industry, where you can visit one of the factories.

The second stop is at the pictoresque island of Burano, famous not only for its lace but also for its fishermen's houses painted in bright colours.

Then after a short sail of about ten minutes we reach Torcello. Only the cathedral with its magnificent mosaics and the church of Santa Fosca remain as testimony of its former glory.
