CHIOGGIA & SOTTOMARINA ( Italy -Venezia )

In this video, we'll share a trip to Chioggia and Sottomarina beach in beautiful Italy, Veneto.

If you're planning a trip to Venice and want to explore beaches and canals,Chioggia and Sottomarina are the perfect place to go!

Chioggia (pronounced [ˈkjɔddʒa]) is a small town on the Adriatic sea coast of Italy. It is older than Venice and just like it, it is:

criss-crossed by canals;
located on a group of small islands; and
connected to the mainland by causeways.

When the sun is shining and the skies are blue, it is a great place to go to in order to relax, take in the local way of life, explore the fish markets, take pictures of the photogenic clotheslines suspended between the colourful tall houses, spend some time on the beach and eat your weight in seafood and ice-cream.

Sounds good?! I thought so.

While Venice is suffocated by an ever increasing wave of visitors and encroaching souvenir shops, about an hour and a quarter away, at the Southern entrance of the Venetian Lagoon, lies Chioggia – a fishing port which has managed to preserve its authentic feel.

The canals, the narrow streets and the architecture will make you feel like you have hardly left Venice at all, but you will be surprised by how quiet and calm everything seems to be. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the presence of thousands of people from all over the world, in Chioggia you can take it slowly and observe the locals at what they have been doing for centuries: fishing, lacemaking and seafood selling, cooking and eating.

Being one of the biggest and oldest fishing ports in Italy and operating the biggest number of fishing boats in the country, you can expect Chioggia to have a pretty good fish market.

In fact, it has two – a wholesale and a retail one. The wholesale fish market (called Mercato Itico) is across the large canal San Domenico and occupies 11 000 square meters, 5 000 of which are taken by a fancy pavilion built in 1960. The boats moor right next to it and you can see the crates with fish being unloaded under the attentive glare of the many seagulls. There are also large facilities behind the market where fish from all over Italy and the world is handled, stored and processed.

The retail market – called Pescheria – is more centrally located and you will find it between the Piazza and the Vena canal. It has a beautifully sculpted main entrance (carved by the Paduan Amleto Sartori), huge red awnings and it houses about 30 large stalls. You can find all sorts of fish and seafood there – from anchovies to sea bass and then some more. It is an unmissable sight, but make sure that you visit it as soon as you reach Chioggia, as it shuts in the early afternoon.

Many restaurants in town serve beautifully cooked seafood. Walk along the San Domenico canal to see the deep sea fishing boats on one side and a line of eateries on the other, where you can glimpse through the windows into their kitchens and see the chef preparing the most delicious fish dishes. For an outstanding plate of seafood, try also the restaurants around the retail fish market. For ideas what to order, have a look at this list of typical for Chioggia food.

Every year Chioggia organises some fun and fabulous events showcasing its traditions and its unique culture.

Sottomarina now enjoys a beach which extends beyond the mouth of the Brenta, up until the mouth of the Adige, in Isolaverde, renowned for its sandy terrain which is particularly well-suited for vegetation and is today a well-known tourist centre, endowed with modern infrastructure, surrounded by natural greenery. About 10km long, with a depth in some parts of around 300 metres, the beach of Sottomarina is appreciated by the entire coastline for the quality of its fine sand, with abundant presence of augite, quartz, silicon and micaceous elements which, together with a regular and constant breeze, makes it the ideal place for some therapeutic rest and an excellent tan. Its wide and welcoming shore is, without a doubt, the ideal place for long walks or for children to enjoy, or simply relaxing.
You are also free to enjoy this place in the company of ur dogs,horses etc...
