Casale sul Sile was founded in 1100 and was inhabited by the boat men who transported goods and people to the nearby Venice lagoon. QUARTO D’ALTINO Jesolo Although the historic centre of Jesolo is of no particular architectural interest, it has many shops and activities. There are few docking possibilities. To have the drawbridges opened, call ahead of time, and make an appointment for opening. Lido di Jesolo The largest seaside resort on the Upper Adriatic Sea, with shops and services spread along its 11 km of coastline. Mod- ern and busy during the summer, you will find all kinds of entertainment and attrac- tions, plus plenty of shopping, and a lively nightlife.
