Areas and Suggested Cruises |
| Chioggia |
Chioggia (a little fisherman village in the deeply South of
Venice lagoon) is still the head and the first base. Its
central location in regard to the waterways of
Padano/Veneto makes this picturesque "water"city
an idealistic harbour and point of departure for the nicest
itineraries, all the year long.
The base is located in a strategic and panoramic point at
equal distance between Chioggia (downtown, 300m) and
Sottomarina (sea-side resort, 500m).
