Burano is a pretty island in the northern part of the Venetian lagoon. Famous for its lace-making and for its brightly-coloured fishermen's houses, the island is a photographer's paradise. A trip to Burano makes a great excursion or daytrip from Venice (more about transport to Burano), when it can be combined with visits to the abandoned island of Torcello and its quiet neighbour Mazzorbo.
Exploring Burano provides countless photo opportunities. There are many charming yards and squares where drying laundry adds to the general decorative gaiety of Burano. Along the lagoon shore you'll find superb views of neighbouring island Torcello (with, on a clear day, a mountainous backdrop) and smaller islands like San Francesco del Deserto (see below).
The town of Burano covers the island, with several small canals acting as thoroughfares. There are a couple of larger squares, and many little lanes and alleys. The town's fishing industry can be glimpsed along the canalsides and around the island's shores, where there are tiny fishing harbours. There are no essential tourist attractions other than the island itself and its general ambience. Apart from the painted houses, Burano's most identifiable landmark is the island's church, San Martino, which has an impressively-leaning belltower, to rival the most slanting of Venice's campanili. Inside the church is a Cruxifixion by Tiepolo.

The island Ruegen is with its 926 sq.km the largest German island. The biggest part of this beautiful german island are taking the very long fine sandy beaches and the white shining chalk cliffs. The most imposing nature experience is the northern point of the island, the Cap Arkona with its three gorgeous lighthouses. Really lovely to see are the seaside resorts Binz, Sellin, Baabe and Göhren, with its white guesthouses, built in typical Spa style and their beautiful seabridges. Furthermore there are a lot of cycle - and footpaths all over Ruegen . The boattrips to Usedom, Hiddensee or Denmark are also very popular, especially at the main port Sassnitz. Ruegen offers many nice and interesting activities, like a journey with the narrow - gauge railway, called "Rasender Roland" or a trip to the city of Bergen, the capital of Ruegen. Whatever you will see at this wonderful island, you will love it and never forget it.
