A journey through Oasi di Volano, Delta’s boat bridges, Sacca degli Scardovari, Oasi di Ca Mello and Bagliona Valley up to Chioggia, which is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage and known as Piccola Venezia, Little Venice.

Chioggia - Venezia

The last bike-boat stop from Cà Roman, Pellestrina, Malamocco, S. Maria del Mare up to the Lido, to finally land in stunning Venice. This is the final stage of the Salt Route Bike Trail.
