Until today, it was a secret that the route bypasses the city of Venice. Riders will board three short-distance ferries to reach Chioggia.
The first ferry goes to the Lido, a long, thin island separating the Venetian lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. It is also home to the Venetian Film Festival. There are plenty of inexpensive restaurants, perfect for refuelling before moving on. The view from the ferry allows you to see the silhouette of The Floating City and its St. Mark’s Bell Tower.
The next ferry departs from Porto di Malamocco and goes to Pellestrina, an 11 km long island known for its colourful houses.
The final ferry takes you to Chioggia town, which is located at the southern end of the Venetian lagoon.
