The second stop is the Island of Burano, known not only for its lacemaking but also the brightly-coloured fishermen's cottages.

From here, it's just a ten-minute sail across the sandbanks to Torcello, the first settlement in the lagoon. The cathedral with its magnificent mosaics and the Church of Santa Fosca dating to the 11th-12th century are a testimony of the island's ancient splendour.
