The Veneto (Venice) photos

Venice is the most beautiful of all. However, the tourist places are overcrowded, so you need to use your map and navigate around and you will be rewarded with nicer, quieter and peaceful beautiful places to relax and enjoy. The public transport in Venice include the Traghetti (gondola ferry boats), Vaporetti (water buses) and of course water taxis. Another choice would be to go on foot and cross the ponte (bridges). Palaces stand on a steadily sinking network of wood and the waters of age-old cancals creep up the mossy steps of abandoned homes.

P.S: The photos are not in order. :)
