We will discover the Lido island by bike, with its groomed shellac beaches, bronzed lifeguards and old ladies sipping Prosecco at the market, experiencing the Belle Epoque glamour passing in front of the beautiful hotels designed in the 20s in Art Noveau style.
We will enjoy special views of Venice biking along the lagoon and reaching an old Israelitic cemetery. Biking through the San Nicolò harbor mouth we will reach its lighthouse and we will end up at the Hotel Excelsior, where the stars gather on the red carpet during the glittering Venice Movie Festival.
We will bike along the canals of Malamocco, a colorful fishing village that’s like a miniature version of Venice, cycle through a forest reserve to a lighthouse and relax like the locals do by heading to quiet Alberoni beach for a drink or a swim.
The route will continue on the lagoon side of the island, with views of the abandoned island of Poveglia, the island of Lazzaretto Vecchio and San Lazzaro degli Armeni.

Il percorso lungo tutta l'isola è stato emozionante e non scontato. Alcune tappe come quelle vicino a malamocco sono state scoperte di vere gemme nascoste

Valerio took my husband and I on a fantastic bike tour of Lido Island. He was super knowledgeable, attentive to our needs, and adjusted his biking to ours easily. He also has a great sense of humor! We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him and are suggesting him to friends who are planning a trip. Coming from a very hilly city, it was a very manageable bike and he had options for length which could accommodate a variety of people.
