Isaholidays' Isamar Holiday Village is the ideal way to discover Chioggia in the Venetian lagoon.
Chioggia, a painting that opens onto the Lagoon
The New York Times listed Chioggia among the 52 places to visit in the world in 2022, describing the city’s architectural and environmental wonders in detail. A town “built on a cluster of islands in the Venetian lagoon, with centuries-old buildings rising from canals in all their decadent splendor.” Chioggia welcomes a more sustainable form of tourism, removed from the masses that descend on Venice. While perhaps less well-known than Venice, it can boast an equally proud and authentic character. Known as early as Roman times for its strategic position linking the hinterland and the Euganean Hills to the sea, Chioggia gained commercial importance for its salt production. Beware! Chioggia is not just a Little Venice!
Monuments, art and a fascinating fish market
To get to know Chioggia one must wander through picturesque Medieval alleyways, and cross the main street, the heart of the city, Corso del Popolo, to the Cathedral of Santa Maria inspired by the Palladian style. A little further on stand the Church of Sant'Andrea and the Clock Tower, which is among the oldest still functioning in the world. But to delve into the true spirit of Chioggia, visitors must go to the fish market which is a truly authentic and unforgettable experience.
Not just art but also great beaches
Among Chioggia's marvels the New York Times cites its beaches which attract couples, families, and singles. The beaches of Sottomarina and Isola Verde are famous for their curative properties for respiratory problems. The Isamar Holiday Village beach has been a Green Flag since 2016. This ranking awards beaches with the best facilities for families and children. Chioggi’s beaches are sandy and have shallow waters with lifeguard services as well as recreational, sports and educational activities, and there are also swimming pools and water parks with everything needed for a great holiday. Isamar Holiday Village has the added bonus of a convenient shuttle bus that leaves directly from the village for Chioggia.
From Chioggia to Pellestrina, from Lido to Venice
Neither far nor near: Chioggia is connected to Venice by a convenient vaporetto public boat service to the Lido, passing through the Ca' Roman and Pellestrina nature reserves. This route can also be cycled thanks to the Actv landing stage just below “el gato de Ciosa,” a monumental column that looks out to sea from the piazza.
