A town close to Venice called Mestre

Image
For my parents 35th wedding anniversary we all went together for a cruise around the Greek Islands. The cruise was from Venice to Venice and since it is well known how expensive Venice is, we decided to stay in the next town (10mins away) called Mestre.  If you want to go to Venice but not spend a lot of money on accommodation and be close to Venice,  than Mestre is your place. River of Mestre We stayed at a hotel called Residence Elite Hotel , a modern hotel, with all the necessities, including a small fitness center.
