Caorle - between two lagoons – main image

One of the great strengths of Caorle is its location - and it's not just about the beauty of the area. The popular Italian resort is located roughly halfway between two lagoons: the first encircles Venice and its islets, and the second breaks into a gentle semicircle at Marano and Grado, starting at Lignano Sabbiadoro. It is sometimes called the twin of the Venetian Lagoon.

A great idea for a vacation in Italy

Caorle needs no introduction. Despite the great interest it enjoys among tourists, the resort has not lost its charming character and has not been "stifled" by commercial, unlike its neighbor, Lido di Jesolo. It is a great place to relax for couples in love, singles eager for adventure, as well as for families with children. Holidays in Caorle are pleasantly spent both by sunbathers who intend to lie blissfully on a sun lounger and catch a tan, as well as amateurs of squeezing maximum impressions from each day. For the former there are wide, clean beaches with well-organized infrastructure, for the latter - aquaparks. Romantics can stroll for hours along the seaside boulevards, wander through the yacht harbor and head towards the beautifully restored old part of the city. Without a doubt, Caorle is one of the most beautiful resorts of the northern Adriatic coast.

A paradise for sailors, or Porto Santa Margherita

The mouth of the river Livenza separates the center of Caorle from what is considered a separate resort area and a kind of tourist bedroom. It is called Porto Santa Margherita and is adored by sailing enthusiasts. It was established in the 70s of the last century, and over time it becomes one of the largest marinas for sailing boats and yachts on the northern coast of the Adriatic Sea. The impressive size of the port basin attracts people who love spending their free time on the waves from all over the country (and not only). From the mainland, it looks just as good, so it's no surprise that the surrounding restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes are crowded. Porto Santa Margherita tempts with a calm atmosphere and fairly friendly prices - compared to Venice and its neighboring resorts, and even Caorle itself. The beach stretches along a long strip, and the sand covering it is fine and loose, which makes it very pleasant to walk around. People who like to spend time actively can explore the area from the perspective of a bicycle. Cyclists can enjoy numerous bike paths running through green areas and along the beach. In addition to sailing, classic swimming or surfing, you can also play tennis on one of the courts or roller-skate. Of course, the options for an active holiday in Porto Santa Margherita include walking along the paths along the pine forests. Caorle is reached by a small ferry that runs regularly. It carries both passengers (one-way trip costs approx. EUR 1) and cars (approx. EUR 1.8).

Camping in Caorle

People looking for accommodation in Caorle or relatively close to the resort will like the offer of local campsites. Not only are there a lot of them - they are characterized by a large area (from a few to several hectares), where tourists will find everything they need to be happy. They are practically self-sufficient camping towns. Among the facilities located in the vicinity, Camping Laguna Village stands out, offering the possibility of relaxing in the shade of a pine forest and enjoying the views of the sea and the beach every morning. Guests can use the restaurant, supermarket, access, among others. to the laundry room, among the numerous amenities there is also a swimming pool. The historic center of Caorle can be reached from the campsite on foot, and the excellent communication between the neighboring resorts allows you to easily travel both ways and discover other attractions of the coast.

Holidays on the shores of Bracciano
The fame of the Eternal City attracts thousands of tourists every year. Sometimes - especially on exceptionally hot summer days - the crowds pouring through the streets of Rome can tire so much that both the residents and visitors want to escape from it. In search of shade and refreshment, driven by the desire to avoid crowds, they reach about 40 km north of Rome, where the town bearing the same name lies on Lake Bracciano. For its small size, Bracciano has a rich history. It is not fully known when and for what purpose it was established, according to one of the theories it was an ancient settlement on Via Clodia, a Roman road of great importance. It was probably also the point of defense of the nobility against the Saracens (10th century), and in the 14th century it passed into the hands of the church authorities. A century later, it became the refuge of Pope Sixtus IV, who fled Rome from the plague. Legend has it that the city's buildings, which we can admire today, are only a small fragment - the main part of Bracciano is hidden under the surface of the lake. Today, the town is an enclave of greenery and peace, attracting people looking for rest and relaxation. The lake on which it lies was born as a result of the merger of several extinct volcanoes. Its depth reaches 165 meters, and there are hot springs on its shores. It is surrounded by a lot of greenery - a regional nature park (Parco Naturale Regionale di Bracciano - Martignano) has been created around it. There are several holiday resorts by the lake: apart from the largest one, Bracciano (with a tourist area by the coast), there are also Trevignano Romano and Anguillara Sabazia. People who spend their holidays in Bracciano can go on excursions around the lake, get to know the mentioned towns and the beaches created nearby.
