Located in Italy’s Veneto region and the province of Venice, Chioggia is a charming town also known as little Venice. The city on Adriatic coast is actually based on two islands. While you can feel the ambience of its fishing port tradition, traces of modern life are also visible. It is more affordable than Venice as far as accommodation and nightlife are concerned. The lively promenade, architecture and magical natural splendor of the coast draw thousands of tourists to the city on Venetian Lagoon.
To avail cheap flights to Chioggia, you have to use the Venice Marco Polo airport. It is about 60 km away from the city.
Your exploration of the city should begin with the northern part where bots are used to fetch tourists from Venice. The arcaded Piazzetta Vigo and Vigo Bridge will draw your attention first. Then, you can proceed towards Church of Saint Andrew as well as its bell tower with a 12th century origin.

The Holy Trinity Church should not be missed as well. After seeing the historic 'Loggia dei Bardi', you can proceed to the Church of San Martino.
