Chioggia, in the province of Venice, stands between the Venetian Lagoon and the delta of the Po River, on a small peninsula. In this area, many large rivers reach the Adriatic Sea, and thus form a rugged coastline. The urban area, which also includes Sottomarina and Isolaverde, counts the famous beaches of the city between the port and the mouth of the river Brenta, and between the Brenta and the mouth of the Adige river, all strictly equipped with services.

Looking at the city from above, you can see its fishbone shape. Chioggia is also known as Little Venice, for their strong similarity, due to the presence of small streets, canals and squares with many churches and on the other hand the two cities developed together.

Passing along the main canal, the Vigo Canal, and then on the Bridge and the Piazza of the same name you reach the port for the island of Pellestrina. Here you can see a column with the Venetian lion. The Venetians have left these columns everywhere, as a symbol of their regime over the city. In Chioggia you can also see one of these columns, but this lion is much smaller than we will expect from the Venetians, for this reason it is nicknamed < Strong>El Gato.

From Chioggia you can also easily reach the historic center of Venice, discover the smaller islands of the lagoon or the Riviera del Brenta or if you prefer to travel by car, also Ferrara, Rovigo and Padua they are nearby.
