Venetian Lagoon Islands
Latest update: 26 April 2022
The Venetian Lagoon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Adriatic Coast, covering an area of 550 km².
There are more than 100 islands in the lagoon, only a few of which are inhabited. The largest by far is Venice while some of the more famous are Murano, Burano and Torcello. Pellestrina isn't everyone's cup of tea and I almost didn't visit it after reading some negative reviews but it turned out to be one of my highlights of the whole Veneto region. Burano is something quite unique, a tiny Lagoon island where almost every building is painted in a bright colour and it even has its own leaning tower! |
