Based on the previous very positive experience of an early Italian summer escape, we visited another Venetian coastal resort.
On 30th of May we arrived to Caorle, the oldest villages on the coast near by Venezia. Hotel Excelsior with a sea-view room, directly on the promenade was a decent choice for a reasonable price. The resort itself features old cathedral, Church of the Angel on the sea and the Casoni houses – favourite spot of Ernest Hemingway among the attractions. And of course, avoiding the omission, there is a beautiful several km long sandy beach too 😉
However, lying on a sunbed by the sea was not our ultimate goal for the Italian visit. Instead, we did a little bit of road trip and travelled across north Italy to Milan on 2nd of June.
The Royal Garden hotel situated on the outskirt of the city was convenient thanks to its secured parking and an underground station within a short walk. In Milan we visited some of the famous landmarks including the Duomo, La Scala, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Sforzesco Castle, Brera Art Galery, Santa Maria delle Grazie church and many more. Cherry on the pie was the awaited concert of Lana Del Rey at Hippodrome San Siro on 4th of June. Being the headliner of the whole I-Days festival, with the attendance of more than 70.000 a new high was clearly set. Even though the organisation was a bit problematic, firstly the entrance was hard to find, then the unnecessary queuing, we were still happy we made it and on time.
Last day, Wednesday 5th of June was a travel day with a long journey from Milan back to Graz a head of us. Unfortunately we did not manage all the planned stops, but that gives us a good reason for a next trip 😉
