Creator's Key Takeaways

It's just photo opportunity after photo opportunity in Koja and a lack of tourists in the best way.

If you are carrying really large luggage on the bus, this might not be the mode of transportation for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Learn the correct pronunciation of Chioggia (Kee-oh-ja) to avoid confusion with locals.
Use the shuttle boat provided by Viking Ocean cruises for a fast 10-minute trip from the port to downtown.
If taking the bus from Venice, look for bus number 80 (route: Sottomarina, Chioggia, Venezia) at Piazzale Roma.
Account for extra time when traveling from Venice to Chioggia, as Vaporetto transfers can take up to an hour.
Don't rely solely on Google Maps for the port address; look for the ship on the horizon to guide your direction.
