Famous are the <em>carciofi violetti di Sant&#8217;Erasmo<\/em> \u2014 small violet artichokes protected as a Slow Food presidium. Harvest season is April to June; in those weeks there are farm-gate sales along the paths and special dishes in the island trattorias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A day plan for Sant&#8217;Erasmo: in the morning with line 18 from Murano (Faro) \u2014 rent bicycles at the Capannone pier \u2014 ride the island loop (approx. 15 km, flat) \u2014 lunch at the Trattoria Vignote or Ai Tedeschi \u2014 return in the late afternoon. Completely free of tourist crowds, ideal for travellers who want to experience the quiet lagoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stops and timetable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Murano Faro \u2192 Sant&#8217;Erasmo Capannone \u2192 Sant&#8217;Erasmo Chiesa \u2192 Sant&#8217;Erasmo Punta Vela \u2192 Treporti.

If you specifically want Sant&#8217;Erasmo, take 18; for combining several islands, 13 serves you better.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n<details><summary><strong>Is Sant&#8217;Erasmo worth a day trip?<\/strong><\/summary><div><p>Yes \u2014 above all from April to June during the artichoke season.
