Burano

Burano is a delightful place that and we were long overdue for a return visit.  Like Venice the main streets are busy but a few streets back all is quiet, very peaceful.  Local people are really friendly  despite the squillions of tourists who daily invade their little island. The tourists bring welcome income but there is a price.

The houses are colourful and really well maintained. It would be a great place to live though you would get sick of tourists like this guy below filming with his phone straight through someone's front door.

 Cute, colourful houses

 Like Venice, lots of tiny alleyways

Despite its small size, there is a lot of green open space.

Rob did a bit of research before we went and when we arrived we made a booking for lunch at Trattoria al Gatto Nero .  The restaurant had heaps of good reviews as one of the best fish specialty restaurants around, even Jamie Oliver had good things to say about it.  We shared a degustation plate, Antipasto degustazione, and had Risotto alla Buranella as a main course,  We also had a Tiramisu for dessert. The antipasto and risotto were exceptional and we were both glad that Rob had checked up on it before we got there
