In brief:<\/strong> A boat tour from Chioggia<\/strong> into the southern Venetian lagoon at the golden hour<\/strong> \u2014 past the island of Pellestrina, through the quiet arms of the southern lagoon, with the sun setting over the water. A calmer alternative to the Venice sunset tours \u2014 less touristy, with an atmosphere of its own. Duration approx. 2 hours<\/strong>, ideal for Sottomarina\/Chioggia holidaymakers after a local evening experience.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

“The southern lagoon in golden light \u2014 Venice’s quiet cousin in the evening.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Most sunset tours in the Venetian lagoon depart from Venice itself or from Punta Sabbioni in the north. This one departs from Chioggia<\/strong> \u2014 at the southern end of the lagoon, in so-called “Little Venice” \u2014 and heads out into the calm southern lagoon<\/strong>, past the long island of Pellestrina<\/strong> and through the smaller lagoon arms behind the Murazzi sea walls. The atmosphere is markedly quieter than Venice itself \u2014 fewer tourist boats, more local lagoon feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
