This is a map of the islands discussed in the article on the Venetian Lagoon and its islands. Not every miniscule island is on the map, but the important ones are.
Most of these islands can be reached on a boat tour in the lagoon.
The colours are green for public access; orange, accessible but with permission; red is inaccessible; blue abandoned; and black means lost.
The map is interactive, so you can zoom and pan around it. Clicking on a marker will show a bubble with a link to eventual articles about the island.
