Although boating holidays are in their infancy, Italy is
home to some superb inland waterways. South of Venice in
the Po Delta, is a myriad of rivers and lakes mainly in
a nature reserve passing within a few hundred metres of
the sea. You can cruise round Venice and the famous
islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.To the west of
Venice there is the River Brenta to the historic town of
Padua, to the north-west, the River Silé to Treviso. It
is now possible to cruise north and east along the
Litoranea Veneta canal parallel with the famous Lido di
Jésolo coast to the Golf of Trieste. Over 700km of
navigable waterways in a spectacular area!
