Your first destination will be Murano, where you will have the opportunity to visit a glass factory and watch a glassblowing demonstration done by a local artist, who will create a unique glass object in front of you. Afterwards you will have some free time to enjoy the beautiful island.

Then, you will visit the picturesque island of Burano, famous not only for its lace making but also for its brightly painted fishermen's houses. Here you can walk the typical colorful streets and taste the delicious local sweets 'Bussolai'.

    Het leuke is dat je 3 eilanden kunt bezoeken. Minder goed is de boot op zich, veel te klein en te krap. Ik ben 1m77 en toch heb ik mijn knieën schuin ...
