BURANO ISLANDS & TRANSFER TO VENICE AIRPORT (DEBARK)

Spend free time enjoying the beautiful and spectacularly colorful islands of Burano before transferring to the Venice airport. While cruising the lagoon on the way to Burano, you will drop off your luggage at the airport, allowing you to more easily meander about the four islands that comprise Burano. The most striking feature of Burano is its patchwork of small brightly colored houses. The different hues were supposedly chosen so fishermen could spot their homes through the fog that often blankets the islands in the winter. Regardless of the origin of the colors, the setting is a delight to explore on your own. Burano is also known for its traditional lacework, which you will find in the many shops lining the canals. For a deeper appreciation of the history of lace-making, browse the Museum of Lace. If you wish to see a Rococo masterpiece by the 18th-century painter Tiepolo, drop by the San Martino church.
