Venice/Chioggia

[flare3192]

We are on a Viking cruise from Istanbul to Rome in May. Since shore excursion descriptions have recently been made available I have looked at them. We arrive in Chioggia at noon on May 24 and leave at 5:00 pm on May 26. There are shore excursions for the day we arrive and the day we depart but nothing for the middle day-- not even transportation to Venice if we wanted. I am new to this and have tried finding things to do there with tours by locals and trip advisor and have found nothing. Would like swome ideas/input here if someone has any experience with this.  Thank you

I have the same situation in March (though it appears our port hours are different from yours) and asked this question back in January.  Here's the link which I hopefully imbedded correctly:

 

We ended up booking the full day Venice on your own for the first day, left the second day unencumbered,  based on the advice given in the thread, and booked the brief walking tour of Chioggia for the third day.  I can't say I'm overjoyed not knowing what will be available on that middle day (like you, I looked unsuccessfully for some private tours) but I'm approaching it with an open mind!  I will post when we get back about what the options, if any, turned out to be.

I'll have to follow along on this post, and the one @shmabbies shared, as we have a similar stop there.
