Itinerary

Day 1

Starting from Riva degli Schiavoni, the main quayside of Venice , we can see the beautiful natural port of the town.
Nearby, the campo San Zaccaria, awaits us overlooked by its early Renaissance church built by Mauro Coducci and commissioned by the wealthiest nunnery in town. The bell tower melting like a candle atop the church of Santa Maria Formosa stands out in one of the city's hubs: at any time people cross this campo to get to Rialto, San Marco or San Giovanni e Paolo the quarter where we're heading next. Commander Colleoni welcomes us into the next square astride his bronze horse. He faces the largest building in town, the Dominican church of San Zanipolo , an all time pantheon for Venice 's glories. Later on we get to know of the Greek and Dalmatian communities and their hidden treasures. As the tour comes to an end we go by the leonine guarded gate of the city's great Arsenal, Europe 's first and largest shipyard.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
