Jesolo and its Lido are one of the most popular holiday destinations for people living in the north-east. With its beautiful beach and the calm sea of the Adriatic, Jesolo is the ideal destination both for young people who find all kinds of attractions, and for families who want to spend a relaxing holiday.
Known since Roman times, the city of Equilium developed after the barbarian invasions; in a struggle with Eraclea to have the Doge in the city, it was abandoned due to the continuous flooding of the Piave river. With the construction of the Cavetta canal, the area changed its name to Cavazuccherina until the early 20th century.
Lido di Jesolo grew and developed thanks to the land reclamation that took place between the 1920s and 1930s, developing not only the area dedicated to agricultural cultivation, but also the growth of the first bathing establishments and the first hotels designed to enhance the area for tourism. With the end of the Second World War, tourist development increased more and more until it became the town we see today.
