hu Eraclea Mare

Italy’s Adriatic Coast, located along the eastern side of the Italian peninsula, is known for its wide sandy beaches stretching for miles and its lively seaside resorts offering entertainment well into the evening. The beaches slope gently into the calm, deep-blue sea, making them ideal for families with young children. Temperatures along the Adriatic Coast are already pleasantly warm early in the season. The surrounding countryside is gently rolling and rich in waterways, perfect for walking and cycling.

The highlight of the region is undoubtedly Venice. This unique city is famous for its canals, where the only traffic noise comes from the “vaporetti” (water buses) navigating the waterways. Culture lovers will also enjoy visiting the historic cities of Padua and Treviso. A day trip to Croatia, by boat or otherwise, is another popular excursion. Nature enthusiasts will feel at home among the rich flora and fauna of the nearby lagoons, and a guided excursion is highly recommended.

Alongside delicious pasta and pizza, the Adriatic region is renowned for its seafood specialities, including shellfish, squid, anchovies, swordfish and tuna.

The information point at hu Eraclea Mare offers plenty of information about attractions and activities in and around Venice. You can take an island-hopping tour to the famous islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello, or join an excursion in a small boat capable of reaching the hidden corners of the lagoon, allowing you to discover the local flora and fauna up close.

Venice itself can be explored in many different ways: with or without a guide, or even from a traditional gondola, which remains high on many visitors’ wish lists. In addition to the famous Piazza San Marco and St Mark's Basilica, highlights include the Grand Canal, St Mark's Campanile, Doge's Palace, Gallerie dell'Accademia and the iconic Rialto Bridge.
