As a traveler when you dream about your Venice holiday, usually thoughts of San Marco square, the Rialto bridge, and the famous gondola rides come to mind. But what about the Basilica dei Santa Maria e San Donato, fornaci di vetro, or the rainbow homes? These lesser known attractions are apart of the three major Venetian Island chain of Murano, Burano, and Tocello.
Getting to the island trio from Venice is fairly easy and can be done in under one day. We booked our day trip through a local tour company that provided private ferry transport and a local guide. The tour which operates at 11:00 and 15:00 lasted a total of four hours and offered a reasonable amount of time to explore each island. However if you (like me) would love to have more time to explore the islands at your own pace, water taxis and vaporetto (water bus) are available to charter you to your destination.
