It is an ancient waterway, created by the “Serenissima” during the period of its maximum splendour.
It is a classical navigation route and it offers a varied and surprising scenery: from the fishing cottages to the Grand Canal palaces, from the wide estuaries of the venetian rivers to the green landscape cut from the beds of reeds, from a productive countryside to lazy beaches. Bikes recommended.
