What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Venice, where our skipper will be waiting for us. After an initial welcome, we will board the boat, a vintage wooden boat, and begin the experience.
We will sail to the Mulino Stucky, a historic building dating back to the late 1800s and now a hotel. We will then take the Giudecca Canal and cross the Venetian lagoon to St Mark's Basin, the space in front of the magnificent square of the same name.
Next, we will pass through the Castello district and reach theArsenale, the shipyard complex that from the 12th century onwards was the heart of the Serenissima's naval industry and arms production. The skipper will tell us about the ships that were built there over the centuries and allowed the city to prosper. We will discover interesting facts and be fascinated by the panorama that surrounds us.
Finally, after a few souvenir photos, we will return to the starting point.
