Throwback to the Venetian islands
It has been only couple of weeks since my trip to Venice, La Serenissima. Once going through the photos, I felt the need to share with you a quick throwback to the pretty sceneries of the Venetian islands.
I gathered my favorite shots from the last day spent wandering around the islands of Murano and Burano. These beautiful islands offer another kind of perspective on the famed La Serenissima.
Although Burano is known for its handmade lace, its bright, colorful houses and narrow canals attracted me the most. A walk along the waterfront and an aperitif in one of the cafés listening to the locals chatting about the football or fussing over their children or pets. Perfect place for a lazy Sunday, or what do you think?
It takes roughly 40 minutes to get there, if you catch the vaporetto from Fondamenta Nuove. Or you can first make a stop in Murano and then continue to Burano like I did.
The island of Murano has hosted legendary glassblowing tradition since 1291. Once in Murano, a visit to one of its glass studios is a must. Its amazing glassware, including exquisite chandeliers and mirrors, is sight to the eyes for anyone loving the glass decorations. The glass jewellery made from the decorative glass beads has its own unique charm as well. Despite the dominance of the glass factories, the centre of Murano is worth a walk as well.
