2 Islands Cruise: Murano and Burano from Punta Sabbioni - Half-Day Tour

Departure from Punta Sabbioni for Murano: visit to one of the famous glass factories for glass demonstrations and free time (approximately 1 hour stay on the island). 
 
It is certainly the most picturesque of the islands of the Lagoon thanks to the brightly colored houses outside of which, even today, fishermen tidy up their fishing nets and women embroider the famous laces. The group can watch the bobbin lace making with the explanation. The island, which on a smaller scale reproduces the plan of Venice, houses inside the church of San Martino, with its leaning bell tower, some paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries as well as the Crucifixion by G.B.Tiepolo.
 
Departure for Burano, famous for its lace and brightly colored houses - approximately 1 hour stay on the island. 
 
It is the largest of the islands in the lagoon. Founded by the fugitives of Altino, at the time of the Lombard invasions the population of Oderzo also took refuge there. The fame of the island however remains linked to the famous glass art and during the visit of the island a stop at the furnaces is a must where a master glassmaker will demonstrate the working (always explained) of both blown and modeled glass. Do not miss the glass museum and the Church of S.S. Maria e Donato a masterpiece of Venetian-Byzantine art
 
Then you will be taken back to Punta Sabbioni.
