    Getting TO/AROUND: When you click on my picture, you will see the timetable of the public ships doing a cruise on a regular basis during summer.
    I took this pic in Stra in spring 2003 - BUT of course I am not sure, wether the times are right or not.
    While driving along the Brenta with my car I saw several boats of different size on the canal.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Upon request by larger groups and at fixed times during the high season you may also get one of these boats that offers stops at Villa Pisani, Villa Foscari , the Dolo Watermill, and Villa Recanati.

    The price for such a full-day-tour is 62,- Euros,
    EXclusive the entree-fees to the villas, but
    INclusive a lunch.

    On my picture you also see, how close the street will mostly be led by the Brenta-canal.

    Getting TO/AROUND: Watch out for the traditional boats on the Brenta-canal.
    They are similar to the gondolas - built a bit assymetric - and watch these 2 people rowing their boat with high speed down the canal.

     An amazing collection of beautiful old villas. I'm glad to see that the 16th century water-mill is still in use and can be visited. I also like the atmosphere in such places, with the water rushing through and turning the old (mainly wooden?) machinery.    		Mikebond Wed Aug 3, 2005 19:49 UTC
     Wunderbare Seite und Photos! Leider habe ich weder Stra noch Dolo besucht, aber ich möchte gern.

     There is soo much and nice to detect here - it must not always only be Venice!    		seamandrew Fri Mar 18, 2005 23:20 UTC
     The more and more I read about Italy, the more eager I am to go see it in person. Great tips Michael! I can only imagine those villas erected along the canal started polluting the fresh water within no time! Humans are so destructive!
