Do they mean Lido di Jesolo?
If so we must be told.

Lido di Venezia is a very short boat ride from Venice itself (about 5mins). Very regular boat service, so no worries about getting out to the Lido from Venice.
As for Lido di Jesolo, I've not been there, but I've heard it's a hole! Also to clarify Helen's post, that should read northeast of Venice not southeast. You can get out to Jesolo from Venice using boat then bus, not sure of the length of time, also think it's only roughly an hourly service on the first (boat) part of the journey.

The Lido di Jesolo is very touristy, or marshy where it isn't. The ride on the ferry is about half an hour, from Venice.
I suppose it depends where you then go, as to how far a good place to watch is. I've been there a few times, its quite a nice place, but, sorry I'd never heard of the Lido di Venezia. Please forgive my ignorance.
Thank you Helen, for your insight, I thought most of the route was still secret. The road nearer Trieste should be more spectacular, for those interested in the picturesque.
Unfortunately, I won't be there, barring Lottery wins.

The venetian libido is quite low.
And the Catholic non self interest clause which is very strong contributes strongly to the lack of Venetian blindness.
Im tired.
