The entire Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia area is Italy’s largest and most complete river navigation area. Located in the north-eastern part of the country, it borders with Slovenia and Austria, representing a very popular tourist area, both for its magnificent art cities located there like Venice, Trieste and Verona, for the gorgeous beaches on the Adriatic Sea, and finally also for the wide variety of water tourism opportunities.
The two regions are joined by a navigable canal dating from World War I that is still navigable today. The area also features a diverse system of large lagoons, rivers and navigable canals that form a varied and always interesting navigation area.
This website will help you discover the finest areas in this vast territory, providing a detailed description of the areas between Chioggia, located at the southern tip of Venice’s lagoon, and Grado on the eastern edge of the lagoon.

Our starting base for the Veneto region is located just a few kilometres from the splendid medieval city of Treviso, which is certainly worth visiting.
