How to discover the hidden gems of Venice, Italy and avoid the crowds - SilverKris

"I learned that Poveglia is widely considered the most haunted island on Earth, with a dark history as an 18th-century plague quarantine station and later a mental hospital until its closure in 1968; now wilderness is reclaiming the abandoned hospital ruins and the place feels eerily foreboding—hire a private boat to take you there if you dare." - SilverKris
