The idea to go to Venice was suggested to us by the Flyex agency, where we turned to organize a tour to Paris. Unfortunately, due to the Paris salons that began in the 20th of September, the prices for hotels have increased by almost three!! ! times, which made the trip unacceptable for the price.

So, we organized an individual tour for a week: 4 days in Venice + 4 days on the Andiatic coast in the resort of Lido Di Jesolo, which is located 30 km from Venice.

Of the proposed hotels, we chose the Olimpia 3 * hotel in Venice with breakfast and
Lido - Orient & Pacific 4 * with breakfast and dinner. The hotels confirmed to us
literally within 2 hours, as we were informed by fax on the booking sheet of the largest European TO - Travco travel.

The agency advised us not to buy transfers because of the high price, because at the airport we can take a cheaper taxi or take a bus. In the same agency, we were provided with regular Aeroflota tickets and visa support.

The flight both there and back went without any delays and overlays. Coming out of
At first we were at a loss at the airport building, we didn’t want to take a taxi, and there were just a lot of buses, but then we saw that everything was simple - electronic scoreboards showed where the bus was going. Having purchased tickets from the machine, we boarded the bus and in about forty minutes we were on the P. Le Roma square in Venice. I must say that the purchased tickets need to be stamped on the bus on a special device.

HOTEL Olimpia 3 * turned out to be literally thirty steps from the square, literally
over one bridge, which we later were very pleased with pity
watching people drag their luggage through narrow streets and bridges, although you can
take a water taxi, but it's not cheap. The hotel immediately gave us the keys to the room, I must say that the room was large enough for Venice with handmade furniture and an excellent bathroom.
Later, when we came to Venice, we stayed at the more expensive and prestigious Cavalletto & Doge Orseolo 4 * hotel, the rooms in which were much smaller, not to mention the view from the window into the wall of the neighboring house: -(

VENICE Feelings of small streets, canals, bridges, walks along the Canal
Grande, the cathedrals of San Marco and Marie de Salute, the Arsenal are beyond words. To understand how the city works, just climb to the observation deck
Campanile bell towers in Piazza San Marco, after that we almost didn’t use the map : -) The Polyglot guide with
routes and detailed descriptions. True, 4 days in Venice for walks turned out to be a lot for us and we devoted the whole 4th day to shopping, prices in Venice are
stores were the same as in Milan.

Having moved by bus to Lido Di Jesolo, we found that the resort
stretched out to 15!! ! kilometers. We took a taxi to the hotel, taxi driver
spoke good English and...Russian!!!

The Orient & Pacific 4 * hotel turned out to be almost 7 minutes drive from the bus station. The booked room with a sea view turned out to be with a balcony 1.5 by 5 meters!! ! The hotel left the most favorable impressions - the first line with direct access to the beach, excellent large rooms with new furniture and awesome food. As much as you are offered to eat for dinner, a person can only eat with a very large and strong stomach - a salad bar, then TWO second ones and dessert. We ate for 1.5-2 hours!!!

Flying home, we already understood that we would definitely return to this wonderful country.
