💨 Abstract

Venice faces severe overtourism, with 30 million visitors annually overwhelming its 48,000 residents. To alleviate this, Chioggia, a charming fishing town 16 miles south, is suggested as an alternative. Known as "Little Venice," Chioggia offers canals, local markets, and a more intimate experience. It's praised for its sustainable tourism, bike-friendly streets, and proximity to beaches.
