From Slovenian coast the city of Venice is inviting as an very attractive offshore sailing destination. The voyage on the route Piran – Venice – Piran takes us through more than 100 nautical miles of offshore sailing, crosses the north Adriatic shipping lanes and enters the Venetian lagoon with its extremely crowded canals to reach its destination – marina on a Venetian isle San Giorgio Maggiore, right across from the famous San Marco square. And back, of course.
