Cycle tour Venice — Tri­es­te — Istria

Today you have the choice of eit­her cycling along the dam and the lagoon to Venice or through the hin­ter­land along the River Sile to get to Jesolo/Caorle. The first few kilo­me­ters to the lagoon city are cover­ed by bike, then you take the fer­ry to Pun­ta Sab­bio­ni (ticket not included in the packa­ge pri­ce). Num­e­rous fishing boats and sou­ve­nir stalls line your way along the end­less bea­ches on the Lito­r­a­le di Caval­li­no — a head­land in the north-west of the lagoon. Befo­re you lea­ve Venice through the rear ent­rance, you have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to make a detour to the light­house at the far end of the island. One last time, your gaze wan­ders over the lagoon city and its islands. On the way to Jeso­lo, you can hard­ly resist the oppor­tu­ni­ty to take a refres­hing dip in the cool water. Spend the night in Jeso­lo or Caor­le. If you opt for the alter­na­ti­ve through the hin­ter­land, you will cycle along the River Sile. The name of this river is deri­ved from the Latin silet, which means to be silent, calm, pre­cis­e­ly becau­se the natu­ral river always car­ri­es a con­stant volu­me of water and flows calm­ly. Pas­sing the ruins of the Tor­re Cali­go, a tower from the Midd­le Ages that rises up near the Cali­go canal of the same name, you arri­ve direct­ly in Jesolo.
