Venice Lagoon by boat: Torcello, Mazzorbo, Burano and San Francesco
Wonderful adventure on Venice and its lagoon; an unquestionable link binds the city to this incredible ecosystem, dotted with many picturesque islets that are witnesses to the complex history of this place, and with a boat reserved for us we will visit the northern part of the lagoon and the fascinating islands of Torcello, Mazzorbo, Burano and Francesco del Deserto (or substituted San Giorgio Maggiore).
The experience will start directly at the FFSS station of Santa Lucia where you will meet our guides, then we will proceed with the panoramic navigation to the lagoon proper, until we reach the farthest island: Torcello. Here, there is also a guided tour andentrance to the magnificent Basilica of the Assumption that will surprise you with its medieval mosaics.
We will then continue in the direction of Mazzorbo, then the colorful Burano and finally, if it is not possible to dock at the charming and reserved island of San Francesco del Deserto (private island), we will also visit the island of San Giorgio Maggiore characterized by the monastery designed by Palladio.
A unique experience that also includes a seafood lunch at one of the islands’ signature eateries.
