We followed the dock called "Zattere" until its end. We went along the street, having the "Canale" at our right.
Our Italian friends/guide explained us that the large canal which is our right side separates Venice from the Giudecca Island, where many luxury hotels are located: Hilton, Cipriani etc.

This walk along Zattere is quite long, but the magnificient view is worth the pain!
