Sustainable exploration

The Art of conscious travel: A guide to sustainable exploration

Venice, its Lagoon, and the surrounding territory are masterpieces of unparalleled beauty, but also ecosystems of rare fragility.

At Almar Lido Jesolo, we believe that excellence in hospitality must be inextricably linked with responsibility.

We invite You to experience our region not merely as a tourist, but as a privileged guest and a custodian of this wonder.

Safeguarding the lagoon ecosystem: beyond the water's mirror

Choosing gentle navigation

The wake generated by high-speed motorboats erodes the ancient foundations of historic palaces and salt marshes. We suggest opting for low-impact vessels, such as traditional rowing boats or electric watercraft, to discover a secret Venice in perfect silence.

 

Respect for urban and lagoon wildlife

The Lagoon is a special protection zone for wonderful species like herons and pink flamingos. Observation requires discretion. In the historic center, it is equally vital not to feed pigeons or seagulls, protecting both animal health and delicate monument marbles.

 

Waste and resources

We invite You to travel with a reusable water bottle. Venice features historic public fountains providing fresh, high-quality drinking water. Properly disposing of Your waste is an essential act of love to preserve the aquatic balance.

The traveler's etiquette: decorum and coexistence in places of art

Elegance in places of worship

Access to Basilicas and cultural sites requires appropriate attire (shoulders and knees covered). Civic decorum also dictates that walking through the streets shirtless or in swimwear is not permitted.

 

Dining with style

Monument steps and historic bridges are not meant for improvised picnics. To savor local delicacies, we invite You to sit at traditional bacari or restaurants, thereby supporting the local economy.

 

The flow of the city and digital empathy

Venetian streets are charming but narrow. Keeping to the right and avoiding long stops on bridges helps the daily life of residents. When taking photos, please ensure a free passage is always maintained.

Experiencing authentic Venice: supporting the socio-economic ecosystem

Protecting 'water crafts' and artisans

Instead of mass-produced souvenirs, we invite You to discover historic workshops. Purchasing Burano lace, Murano glass, or visiting a Squero where gondolas are built helps preserve ancient trades.

 

The luxury of time and space

The magic of St. Mark's Square or Rialto unfolds outside peak hours (early morning or sunset). During the day, enjoy the luxury of exploring less-frequented Sestieri like Cannaregio or Castello to discover Venice's intimate soul.

 

Circular gastronomy

Choosing zero-mile products, such as local lagoon fish or purple artichokes from Sant'Erasmo island, reduces water transport impacts and rewards small local fishing and farming communities.
