“I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.” 
― Anaïs Nin


Few travel experiences hold the inspiring mystique as exploring the underwater reefs.

Not only are reefs colorful and beautiful, but they’re also rather diverse ecosystems.

​Although there are stunning reefs growing all over the world, just out of Venice, in front of Chioggia island there is a unique Adriatic reef.
 


 The TEGNUE of the Adriatic Sea are a unique reef formed 7000 years ago right in front of Chioggia and Sottomarina. 

A various and colorful number of sea creatures live right under the sea, and they are easily visible and reachable to divers in a safe and protected environment

These underwater structures make the Mediterranean islands of Venice even more enticing to explore.


Piero Mescalchin and his association have taken care of this treasure, a piece of Caribbean in the heart of the Mediterrenean sea


Diving clubs organize trips to discover the Venetian Underworld, the reef and the relict of sunken ships...

​ they are easy to contact, and if you need help do not hesitate to ask me

Discover charm of the Islands of the Venetian Lagoon..Esplora il fascino delle isole della Laguna Veneta...

The history of the town comes from the far and mysterious past of a civilization born and bread by the Sea.
​The tradition is that when the barbarians invaded the North of Italy, the inhabitants escaped on the islands of the lagoon of Venice, creating the Republic of the Serenissima. The islands of Chioggia and Sottomarina were the 11th and 12th islands of the Confederation of the 12 islands of the lagoon.


Picture

Picture

La storia della città è legata a quella di Venezia dai suoi esordi, quando gli abitanti delle isole aderirono alla Repubblica della Serenissima.

​

Chioggia e Sottomarina divennero così l'XI e la XII isola della Confederazione  delle 12 isole della laguna. ​


During the 15th century Venice fortified the lagoon with forts to defend her islands.

Sottomarina's fort is called St. Felice and in summer it is possible to explore it!

Every first Saturday of the month the city organizes excursion to discover its walls and chambers..


Durante il XV secolo Venezia fortifica la laguna con roccaforti per difendere le sue isole.

Il forte
​S. Felice di Sottomarina è a tutt'oggi visitabile!

Durante l'estate la città organizza organizza escursioni per scoprire le bellezze nascoste della fortezza! 
Picture


​In the June Medieval festival every year the city of Chioggia re-lives the War of Chioggia, when Genova and Venice fought for the dominion of the Sea (1379/80). 
Picture

Although the town remained largely autonomous, it was always thereafter subordinate to Venice, whose influence is visible in the art and architecture of the city. 
Picture
Beautiful memory of the great past of the city, other than its churches and canals, is the Clock Tower of St. Andrea, the oldest in the World

​It was built in the same year of Salisbury clock, 1386, and from its top you can enjoy a unique view of the bridges and the palaces of the lagoon.

Bacari e cicchetti tra i canali! Food&Wine Bacaro tours!

The best way to explore Venice and Chioggia as a local is to go 
from bacaro 
​to bacaro,
from tavern to tavern 

with your friends. 
The best ones in Chioggia are in Riva Vena!

It means drinking good wine
and tasting real delicacies
in the typical taverns of the Venetian lagoon.


Picture

Andare per bacari, di taverna in taverna,
si provano assaggi della cucina veneziana e chioggiotta a un prezzo conveniente,
immersi nel clima familiare e autentico della laguna veneta.


Tra i chicheti più tipici c'è il saor (macinatura di cipolla bianca)  che può essere di sarde o di gamberi e il baccalà mantecato, un saporito paté di merluzzo,  con polenta!


Se non avete ancora visitato Chioggia e Venezia, questo è il modo migliore per rilassarsi e assaporate
​ la pace frizzante
della Laguna Veneta!



​

​Veneto is
well renown 
​for the production
of its fine wines.
In the bacari
you can drink Cabernet, Merlot and Bardolino, Prosecco, Malvasia, Soave, Traminer and, of course your favorite spritz!  You can try 
the authentic Spritz
, made with Prosecco, Aperol or Campari, or the Venetian Select, sparkling water or Seltz, a slice of orange and to put the finishing touches the olive. 

In these small, simple and typical taverns you can also try the Venetian appetizers, snacks of food, called cicheti, ranging from fish balls to small stuffed sandwiches.
In the friendly and familiar atmosphere, you can choose your drink and your cicheto from the bar and easily relax. 
Each bacaro offers its own appetizers. It is a unique way to they the Venetian cuisine!

Among the among the most common ones you can find the sarde in saor (fried fresh sardine fillets marinated in softly cooked white onions), baccalà mantecato (whipped salted cod served on slices of bread or polenta), meatballs, mozzarelle in carrozza (fried mozzarella cheese sandwiches), fried fish, tramezzini (triangular Italian sandwich constructed from two slices of soft white bread, with the crusts removed) and sandwiches stuffed with cured meats. 

The bacaro tour is a not expensive authentic way to enjoy the lagoon, the price of a glass of wine ranges from 0.60 cents to 4 euros maximum, while the price of a cicheto ranges from 1 to 4 euros.


Those who have not yet had the chance to visit Venice will certainly not miss the opportunity to go on a bacaro tour on their first visit, and for those who have already visited it this will certainly be an opportunity to experience the city in a new way. 





Il modo migliore per scoprire la laguna e i suoi sapori è fare il Tour dei Bacari!

I migliori di Chioggia sono in Riva Vena, dove potete gustare veri Spritz con Aperol, Campari o Select, i vini veneti come soave, lugana, traminer, e i tipici cichetti!

Chioggia Medieval Festival and Sottomarina Fish Festival!
​
​Festa Medievale della Marciliana e Sagra del Pesce di Chioggia & Sottomarina!


Picture

From 16 to 18 of June Chioggia and Sottomarina will be the centre of your Italian experience. In the Old City you will encounter the knights and dames of the medieval city in the Day of the Marciliana.

​This is the festival in honour of the boat Marciliana, the symbol of the mastery and bravery of the sailors of Chioggia, who fought to preserve Venice's supremacy on the sea against Genoa. 


Dal 16 and 18 giugno, come ogni anno il terzo fine settimana di Giugno, a Chioggia vengono allestiti banchetti e botteghe di maestranze e artigiani medievali, insediati gli accampamenti degli armigeri mentre tutto intorno si svolgono danze, canti, combattimenti e sfide. I balestrieri mostrano al visitatore bandiere, armature, strumenti musicali, fedeli e accurate riproduzioni di pezzi originali.

Una riscoperta dell'anima medievale delle isole in onore della Marciliana, la nave simbolo del coraggio e dell'arte dei marinai di Chioggia nella lotta per la supremazia sul mare tre Venezia e Genova... 

​

​The most famous event of the Medieval festival is the Crossbow tournament on Sunday afternoon, when all the city districts will fight for their victory!
Il culmine della manifestazione è la disputa del Palio delle balestre grosse. La domenica pomeriggio i balestrieri delle cinque contrade di Chioggia si contendono il Palio.
