Getting Around by Water Taxi
A motoscafo (water taxi) isn't cheap; you'll spend about EUR 60 for a short trip in town, EUR 75 to the Lido, and EUR 90 per hour to visit the outer islands. The fare system is convoluted, with luggage handling, waiting time, early or late hours, and even ordering a taxi from your hotel adding expense. Always agree on the price before departing.
