Ditch the crowds in Venice and embark on a boat adventure to explore the three most renowned Venetian islands: Murano, Burano, and Torcello. Depart from Punta Sabbioni and make a brief stop in Venice to pick up fellow travelers before heading to Murano. As you glide across the lagoon, take in the breathtaking vistas of the scattered islands and learn about the rich history of Venice and its surrounding isles from your knowledgeable guide. Once you arrive in Murano, you'll have an hour to discover the charms of this island famous for its centuries-old tradition of glassblowing. You can opt to witness a 15-minute glassmaking demonstration by a master artisan or explore the local shops selling exquisite glass handicrafts. Alternatively, visit the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria and Donato and wander through the island's quaint streets. Next, set your sights on Burano, where you'll have about two hours to marvel at the island's brightly colored houses, a true Instagram-worthy setting. Browse the local shops selling renowned Burano lace and visit workshops where you can observe artisans at work, weaving their magical lace creations. Take a break to grab lunch at one of the local eateries, or ask your guide for recommendations to suit your budget. Finally, make a stop at Torcello, a tranquil haven with a fascinating history. Once the most populous island in the Republic of Venice, Torcello was gradually abandoned over the centuries, leaving behind a peaceful atmosphere and just a handful of inhabitants. As you explore this hidden gem, discover the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria dell'Assunta, the iconic Devil's Bridge, the Church of Santa Fosca, and the ancient stone throne known as Attila's Throne. Let the serene ambiance of this island getaway wash over you, a perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of Venice.
