In a labyrinth like Venice there’s always something new – a view, a street, a stretch of waterfront – to discover.
Even in the heart of the city it’s possible to leave the beaten track and go where the tourist hordes never venture, on routes that follow the rhythms of the city and its inhabitants, in search of the essence of Venice.
Venice has over 100 islands and islets. And every one of them has streets, small squares and gardens waiting to be discovered, and some surprising plant life and fauna.
Fill your lungs with sea air, watch the surface of the water as it ruffles in the changing winds, marvel at the ever-changing play of light and shade, walk streets paved with slabs of limestone and volcanic rock that evoke distant places like Colli Euganei and Istria.
This tour is centred on the Castello quarter of Venice, and is a great opportunity to enjoy some unusual vistas and the many minor curiosities of a city built on water.
End of Tour: h. 6.00 pm

The departure is from Cavallino, a small town on the coast, biking along Ca’Savio beach with its natural dunes and coastline woods. The first stop is in front of the Batteria Pisani, restored by the Municipality of Cavallino Treporti and now a museum, we will introduce the history of the military buildings of the coast. Then we will reach the Amalfi Battery and continue to Piazza Treporti. Canals and shoals alternate with cultivated fields and houses dotted around Corte del Prà, a lovely square with a landowner’s mansion, a courtyard, stables and an oratory.
Here the lagoon takes over and the road winds along the banks of the fishing valleys to reach the ancient, solitary hamlet of Lio Piccolo, surrounded by water, immersed in a silence interrupted only by the flights and calls of many species of bird. One of the most beautiful attractions are Flamingos, settled into the lagoon some years ago. They are particularly numerous in the surrounding of Lio Piccolo and you’ll easily observe them.
