When looking for an escape of Venice's crowds, Torcello is an interesting option: a quiet island, a cathedral with some amazing frescoes and mosaics, and great views of the archipelago.
Venice nowadays attracts so many visitors year-round, that it is sometimes necessary to escape it all and look for an alternative destination near by. Torcello is such a destination. A boat ride will take you to Burano, from where it is easy to connect to Torcello. Instead of bustling canals and full streets, you will find an almost deserted island where farmers cultivate the lands and lone houses stand out of the marshy grounds. Following the only walkway will bring you to one of the few canals, leading up to the main square.
