Canal in Burano, Venice, Italy

Today’s travel photo is of a quiet, colourful canal in Burano, Italy. Venice is one of those places where you could spend weeks exploring and still have so much more to see. During my last trip, I took the water bus to explore some of the surrounding islands in Venice. One of my favourites was Burano. The first thing that greets you as you approach the island is the amazing colours of the buildings on Burano. Every house is painted a different, bright colour and the affect is so appealing to the eye. I really loved exploring Burano, not just for the colourful buildings, but because it was away from the crazy hordes of tourists that you find in the main parts of Venice. Burano, though still popular with visitors, was so much more relaxed and there was always space to get blissfully lost amongst its canals and laneways. I spent my entire afternoon here but wanted more. Next time I visit Venice (of course there will be a next time), I would love to stay on Burano for a few nights. I think it would be so quiet and peaceful in the evening after the day trippers have gone back.
