Further
east, countless miles of soft sandy beaches, shimmering
resorts and traditional ports, define the Adriatic
coastline. Embedded in this scenery is Venice, the “Pearl of
the Adriatic”, built on hundreds of tiny islands and
cocooned by the calm waters of the lagoon. Nothing can
prepare you for the splendour of this historic centre, where
enchanting canals, sumptuous palaces and quiet piazza’s
create a unique and magical atmosphere. There are other
delightful lagoon islands such as Burano and Murano which
maintain the traditional skills of lace-making and glass
manufacture. Whilst nearby towns of Padua and Treviso
complete the historic tapestry, the modern resorts of Jesolo
and Cavallino provide plenty of nightlife. |
