Here’s an overview of your activity
Embark on a Biking Adventure: Explore Lido Island's curated shellac beaches, sun-kissed lifeguards, and charming scenes of locals sipping Prosecco at the market. Traverse the Belle Époque glamour as we pedal past stunning Art Nouveau hotels from the 1920s.
After renting our bikes, we'll enjoy a unique perspective of Venice, cycling along the lagoon and reaching an ancient Israelitic cemetery. Our journey continues to a lighthouse, navigating through San Nicolò harbor mouth. Following the golden sandy beaches, we'll even pass by the Venice Film Festival buildings – consider me your personal paparazzo!
The route unfolds along the lagoon side of the island, offering glimpses of the abandoned Poveglia Island, Lazzaretto Vecchio, and San Lazzaro degli Armeni. And don't forget your swimsuit – we'll make a seaside stop!
Important: Bring your swimsuit!
The tour is fully customizable to suit your preferences. The shortest route is approximately 15 km (4 hours), but we can extend it further! For an adventurous twist, we could reach Alberoni Beach, a wild and scenic spot with a pine forest cascading to the sea (around 25 km route). Or, if you're up for a more extended journey, we may hop to the 11 km-long Pellestrina Island, home to three fishing communities, with the naturalistic oasis of Ca' Roman and a grand finale (route around 40 km). Don't worry, Lido and Pellestrina are delightfully flat with low traffic density – perfect for a biking escapade.
This tour is subject to weather conditions. In the event that the tour cannot be conducted safely, you can choose to reschedule or receive a full refund.
