Discover Comacchio, often called the “Little Venice” of the Po Delta, on a relaxing day trip from Ravenna among canals, historic bridges and traditional fishing culture.
After departing from Ravenna, the journey to Comacchio takes about one hour. Upon arrival the day begins with a boat excursion through the Comacchio Valleys, part of the Po Delta Regional Park, a unique lagoon landscape of open waters, reeds and wide horizons.
A small boat takes you across the valleys just outside the town, an environment rich in nature and history. The route reaches Stazione Foce, one of the traditional fishing stations where visitors learn about the historic techniques used for catching eels, a practice that shaped the local economy and culture for centuries.
After the boat excursion you will return to the historic centre of Comacchio, where you will have free time for lunch and to explore the town. Walk along the canals, cross its characteristic bridges including the famous Trepponti, and enjoy the atmosphere of this charming lagoon town before returning to Ravenna in the afternoon.

Happy Hour with Turtles
Enjoy the evening meal of some of the special guests who are being treated at the Cestha Center (Experimental Center for Habitat Protection), a non-profit research organization, whose mission is environmental protection.
The Research Centre, composed of researchers and specialists from the natural sciences, marine biology and veterinary medicine, deals with conservation programmes for endangered species and the promotion of sustainable management activities.
Your visit to the Marine Fauna Recovery Centre, located in the complex of the ancient Fish Market in Marina di Ravenna, converted in recent years into a marine research centre, will be led by this very team of biologists.
The experience is suitable for everyone and takes place in the context of environmental education, to raise awareness of today's issues: waste, proper use of plastic and respect for the environment.
You will meet up close the turtles now being treated at the centre, learn about their history, clinical diagnosis, healing process and release into the sea. Finally, for those who wish, it will be possible to experience the thrill of actively participating in the daily feeding of some of the patients.
The contribution of participation in this activity is aimed at supporting the fish fauna housed there, such as the turtles that are the protagonists of this 'experience'; but it also has another important and very heartfelt purpose: that of forming in all of us, starting from an early age, an environmental awareness that will accompany us and grow over time.
In addition, the income will enable the Centre to bear the many expenses involved in managing this particular 'hospital', such as the cost of medicines, therapies and specialist veterinary examinations. In fact, the Centre supports itself thanks to its dissemination initiatives, as it receives no public funding for the care and management of sea turtles.
