Italy has always been one of our favourite holiday destinations. The people, the history, the scenery, the wine and of course, the food! Venice and the islands in the Venetian Lagoon hold a special place in our hearts. The island of Burano is most famous for it’s lace but it is the brightly coloured homes and boats on the island that appealed to my wife’s “inner photographer”! 

Legend is that the fishermen painted their homes in the bright colours to help them find their way home in the frequently fog shrouded lagoons. Burano is slightly less at risk for the flooding that is becoming increasingly frequent and damaging as the floods in Venice. 

In 2016 Burano was second on the Forbes list of most beautiful cities! It is as part of the Venetian Lagoon, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
