Venetian  Lagoon

The Venetian Lagoon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Adriatic Coast, covering an area of 550 km². There are more than 100 islands in the lagoon, only a few of which are inhabited. The largest by far is Venice while some of the more famous are Murano, Burano and Torcello. I've included those four and others on the Venice Review website which you'll find a link to by clicking where it says "Islands round Venice" below. 

As Pellestrina is closer to mainland Veneto I've included it here on Veneto Review. Pellestrina isn't everyone's cup of tea and I almost didn't visit it after reading some negative reviews but it turned out to be one of my highlights of the whole region and one its colourful buildings is the cover photo for the website.
