Burano — Isola dei Colori

Veneto

Burano's houses are painted in a striking range of bright colours, a tradition local legend attributes to helping fishermen spot their own home through lagoon fog, still maintained under a municipal permission system today. Flat paths follow the small canals between the colourful facades, easy and photogenic.
