Last Visited: May, 2006 History/Info:
A few hundred yards on the other side of the lagoon from St. Mark's Square
lies the isola di S. Giorgio. Here there is the campanile of the church and
monestary of San Giorgio Maggiore. Next to this there is a small marina and on
either side of the marina there appears to be two small lighthouses. I haven't
been able to find any information about these lighthouses, but while taking one
of numerous water buses (or water taxis) you are able to see these two
lighthouses.

- Refer to a map of the water bus system to find the best route to take to
the isola or to go by the marina and lighthouses. Waterbus #82 stops at
Isola S. Giorgio.
- Higher views can be seen if you climb the campanile (bell tower) in St.
Mark's Square.
