Full description
Think you know Venice? Wait until you see its southern lagoon!
Here time seems to pass more slowly and the scenery reveals an authentic and surprising face of the city. With this 3-hour private boat tour you will set sail to discover mysterious islands, ancient monasteries, Art Nouveau architecture and forgotten legends.
And if the skipper is a genuine Venetian, the Serenissima will have no more secrets for you!
What we will do
The appointment is at the indicated time at the meeting point in Venice. Your skipper will be waiting for you, ready to accompany you on this exclusive tour.
You will depart by boat from Le Zattere and, after skirting San Giorgio Maggiore, you will sail to the Lido di Venezia, famous for its elegant Art Nouveau buildings and the International Film Festival.
You will admire from the water theIsland of the Armenians, a spiritual and cultural centre that for centuries has guarded precious manuscripts and traditions of the Armenian community.
The tour will continue to Malamocco, an ancient fishing village that was among the first seats of the Venetian government: a place suspended between sea and lagoon, perfect for immersing yourself in local history. Finally you will arrive in sight of Poveglia, the island considered one of the most haunted places in the world by ghosts.
Throughout the navigation the skipper will tell you curiosities and stories about the places you pass through, allowing you to discover a face of Venice that is off the classic tourist routes.
You will finally return to your starting point. The activity will last a total of 3 hours.
