A Lace-Like Holiday Destination, Burano Island
Burano Island, a fishing island located north of Venice, has a population of around 3500. It wouldn't be wrong to say that colorful houses and lace welcome you when you visit the island. Because it is quite famous for its lace and colorful houses. There is also a story circulating about the reasons for the colorfulness of the houses. So much so that when women's husbands returned home drunk, they painted their houses and boats in the same colors so they wouldn't get lost. Of course, colorful houses emerged. The skills of women who crochet lace were also indebted to their husbands for repairing their fishing nets.
Painting the colors of these colorful houses has been forbidden by the municipality. More precisely, permission must be obtained from the municipality when it is desired to change.
You should wander through the fairytale-like streets of Burano Island and take plenty of photos. You can't take your eyes off the shop windows when you come across shops full of masks and items left over from the Venice Carnival, and souvenirs made of glass.
You can see the statue of the Italian composer Galuppi, and visit the Church of San Martino, the Chapel of Santa Barbara, and the Lace Museum and School.
Don't forget to taste homemade wines, pastas, seafood, especially fish risotto, on Burano Island.
