Meteo Blue is predicting another strong bora with winds up to 50 km/h and low temperatures (around 14 degrees Celsius) for today. Not exactly fun for a trip across the narrow islands to Venice.
We're still getting tickets for the three ferries we'll need today.

Today, at the end: jump the island, along the islands runs the "Ciclovia delle isole Venezia" short: E 10. So we reached Venice by sea, by ferry.

Beautiful island tour from Venice to Chioggia. If only it hadn't been for the heavy rain. It was still fun! 👍

We arrived in Venice by train and found our way over a stepped bridge to the ferry terminal in the direction of Lido. Already from the ferry we had a beautiful view of the houses and buildings of the city. We continued by bike to the next pier. The ferry took us to the second island, Santa Maria del Mare, …

From Mestre to Chioggia is one of the most beautiful cycling routes. Of course you have to use the ferry more often. The islands off Venice are really beautiful and not so crowded. However, on Sundays there is also a lot going on here and at lunchtime the Redtaurants are all fully booked.

Today we started our bike tour through Northern Italy. With an overcast sky and some rain, we first drove to Venice. From there by ferry to Lido. The island is only about 200 m narrow, but a good 11 km long. Miles of sandy beaches, the cinema palace (film festival every September) and the Hotel Exelsior are worth seeing. After …

Interesting island hopping via the Lido di Venezia to the very idyllic Chiaggio, the 'Little Venice' in the lagoon

Showing Translation

The crossings of the island of Pellestrina and the Lido are very interesting.
A sore point is reaching the Venice S.Lucia FS station from Tronchetto: poor road signs and difficulty in crossing the Costituzione bridge (with steps) on the Grand Canal.
