Two of this tour's five islands rarely make it onto a standard Murano-Burano-Torcello itinerary, and both have genuinely distinct stories. San Francesco del Deserto is a tiny Franciscan hermitage island between Sant'Erasmo and Burano — tradition holds that St Francis of Assisi himself landed here in 1220 on his way back from Egypt during the Fifth Crusade and stayed a month before walking home to Assisi, though historians treat this as cherished local legend rather than settled fact. A monastery still stands there today, run by Franciscan friars.
Sant'Erasmo is a different kind of surprise: the largest island in the entire lagoon, and still a working "vegetable garden" for Venice. It's famous for castraure, the small, violet-tinged first-of-season artichoke buds grown there — tender enough to eat raw and prized enough to carry Slow Food recognition as one of the region's great culinary treasures.
Aboard a restored vintage boat with a flexible, customizable pace, this tour reaches both of them alongside the more familiar Murano, Burano, and Torcello — a fuller, slower read of the lagoon as a real, lived-in archipelago rather than a postcard checklist.
