Jesolo
Jesolo is a seaside resort town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Venice, Italy. With around six million visitors per year, Jesolo is one of the largest beach resorts in the country and ranks 7th overall as a tourist destination.
Its 15 kilometer long beaches and proximity to central Europe make it a favorite destination of many German, Austrian, Dutch and French visitors.
The town lies north of Venice, between Eraclea and Cavallino-Treporti. Jesolo gives its name to a lagoon of 22 square kilometers (8.5 sq mi) on the Adriatic Sea between the rivers Sile and Piave. The urbanized area lies on an island of sorts, delimited by the rivers Piave (on the east) and Sile (on the west), and an artificial canal called Civetta.
Jesolo is a seaside resort with abundant holiday facilities and its 15-kilometer (9 mi) beach called Lido di Jesolo. At the height of its touristic life, Jesolo was hosting 6 million tourists per year. Currently, these have dropped to around 4.5 million tourists per year due to the competition from new resort towns.
