Venice, (Part three) the cruise,Europe Trip .

From terminal Tronchetto to jetty near hotel Denieli where we were to go is about 5 Kms. It took about 45 minutes to cover the distance.It was a very memorable and enjoyable experience . I think during our cruise we saw the frontages of 12 to 13 islands on the right and 14 to 15 islands on the left side. The magnificent buildings we saw on them were mostly Churches, Cathedrals or Basilicas. If all the 117 islands offer such visual , artistic and academic delights one would need at least 15 to 16 days to see Venice City, If you doubt my word just see what we saw during our cruise :-

Ferry boat in operation.

What a sleek beauty.


Church of the most Holy Redeemer.

Le Zitelle (officially Santa Maria della Presentazione)

Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute ( English : The Basilica of St Mary of Health ).


Church of San Giorgio Maggiore.



Square of Besilica of St Marco, with Saint Mark's Campanile& Doge's Palace(on right) .Venice,Seen from the canal.
Mind you these we saw during the cruise are on the frontage so about 18 odd days to see Venice fully ?
