Burano: The Island of Color & Lace

10/31/2015

0 Comments

 
Only a short ferry ride away from the canals of Venice there lies two islands.
The most famous island is called Murano, famous for its glass works that are sold throughout Venice. Products range from glass beads to giant glass sculptures costing thousands of euros. Be cautious though, not everything being sold is "authentic" Murano glass.

Most tourists are drawn to Murano by the offer of a free boat ride to the island followed by a free tour of the glass factory. The tour usually ends with a very hard push to buy expensive glass works from their show room. My best advice for anyone visiting Venice is to SKIP Murano and head over to BURANO!

Departure Day - Leaving Venice

The Itinerary
In order to see the most on our first visit to Greece, we decided to go by cruise ship on board the Norwegian Jade in early May. Our four ports of call included Corfu, Santorini, Mykonos, and Olympia.
Picture
  •  Corfu is known as a luxury destination for European royalty and elite.
  • Santorini, a popular honeymoon destination, famous for its cozy, cliff-hanging villages and the bests sunsets in the world!
  • Mykonos, the self-described "party town" of Greece boasts some of the best nightlife and shopping boutiques.
  • Olympia, an archaeological site where the first Olympic games took place.
