Far from the crowds and tourist bustle, the island of Sant’Erasmo is one of the most authentic and peaceful places in the Venetian Lagoon.
Known as the vegetable garden of Venice, it offers a completely different view of the city — one of open fields, vineyards, and rural life.
The best way to discover it? Choose to visit Sant’Erasmo by boat, through a private and flexible tour like Islands Discovery by Venice Tour By Boat.
Sant’Erasmo is the largest island in the lagoon, yet one of the least visited. Its flat landscape is dotted with farmland, orchards, and small vineyards. It’s famous for its purple artichokes and native grape varieties used to produce rare, local wines.
Walking along its quiet paths or stopping at a small farm for a tasting is a unique experience that reconnects you with nature and Venice’s agricultural roots.
With a private boat tour, you can avoid the crowded public ferries and enjoy a calm, intimate journey.
You choose how long to stay, whether to explore on foot, enjoy a snack at a rural trattoria, or simply relax by the shore and soak in the silence.
This tour is ideal when combined with other lagoon islands such as Burano, Mazzorbo, or Murano, creating a full day of discovery that blends nature, craftsmanship, and tradition.
By booking directly with Venice Tour By Boat, you benefit from personalized service, full flexibility, and the best price — with no agencies or middlemen involved.
