... Caorle and surroundings
Caorle, famous as a holiday resort for bathing and
naturalistic stays, has become an international touristic destination. This
little town is situated only an hour’s drive from Venice and it has preserved
the intact charme of its seaside village and its port.
The coast of Caorle, Porto S. Margherita and Duna Verde (15 km of beach)
perfectly caters for all the holiday maker's needs. You will find sunbeds and
sunshades, cabins and showers, first aid stations and restaurants as well as
camping sites, holiday villages, etc. There are also shopping centres and "botteghe"
or traditional shops, fashionable boutiques and elegant icecream parlours,
typical restaurants, pizzerias, discos and sea terraces.
Caorle offers the visitor an attractive picture, both when viewed from the land
and from the sea. Its cylindrical 12th Century bell tower and the extremely old
Romanesque Cathedral can be seen nestling against the delightful cliff top
whilst the large old fishermen's town that runs along it offers houses in lively
pastel shades, "calli" or Venetian alleys and sunny "campielli" or little
squares. These attractions are unique to this area and have made the Venetian
coastline renowned worldwide.
You can enjoy Caorle’s unspoilt nature visiting the lagoon and the different
valleys. You will discover the famous "casoni", the old reed houses of the
fishermen of the lagoon, which are unique historical and architectural records.
It is not easy to describe a natural scene in which the only sound is that of
the oars or the birds in flight, but this is what Ernest Hemingway did in some
of the finest pages of this book "Beyond the river between the trees".
In these last ten-year periods the town has had a quick development, especially
from the touristic point of view, that has transformed Caorle into a celebrated
summer holiday resort with several comforts.
