• First stop: MURANO, world-famous for glassmaking. Enjoy a private visit to a studio to watch the masters and admire traditional and modern designs.

• Continue to BURANO, known for its colorful houses and handmade lace. A pleasant walk lets you discover the island’s charm, the most picturesque in the lagoon.

• Enjoy a local lunch with fresh fish, homemade pasta, and typical “buranelli” cookies.

• On the way back, pass San Francesco del Deserto, the first Franciscan monastery in the lagoon, an oasis of peace since 1220.
