Half day to Murano, Burano and Torcello

Sail past the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the Public Gardens, the tip of Sant'Elena, the famous Lido beach resort and arrive in Murano, known throughout the world for its glass manufacturing industry. Visit one of the factories there. Continue to the picturesque island of Burano, famous not only for its lace but also for the fishermen's houses painted in bright colours. After a short cruise, reach Torcello, the earliest centre of civilization in the estuary. Only the Cathedral with its magnificent mosaics and the church of Santa Fosca remain testimony of its former glory.
