1. Take the combination of vaporetto and buses down to the fishing village of Chioggia. Full of all kinds of 'washing-line' goodness and local people, and on the way you can walk along the sea wall in Pellestrina.
2. Take the vaporetto to Burano and check out all the brightly coloured houses there, evokes strange feelings as you feel like you are in a theme park and the residents are all bizarrely happy.
3. Then up to Torcello and go up the tower in Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, where you can get the most breath taking panoramic view of the lagoon and the salt marshes.
4. If you feel adventurous, then try and see how far you can get into Marghera! The abandoned industrial sites leave plenty of indeterminate spaces, and the giant rusted machines are just amazing!
