Visit Murano on the Way to Airport from Venice

I have visited Murano many times and I am unaware of a left luggage service, so dropping your bags at the airport first would have to be your plan. That said, I am not sure you can do much on Murano on Easter Sunday morning. The merchants do not open until 10:00AM on a normal day, but I wonder if they will open at all on Easter, which is a very big family day in Italy. (Maybe someone else knows for sure.) I do see that the Glass Museum is open, and you can certainly walk around and look at shops even if they are not open. A couple of hours is enough time unless you get into buying glass or want to visit every shop.

Luggage would be an issue. Where would you drop that off while you visit the island?
I think that over 3 days you should be able to find some time for Murano, and even Burano. You arrive on a Thursday. So you have Thursday (partial day), Friday (full day), Saturday (full day), Sunday (morning).
Unless you arrive very late on Thursday, that would be a perfect opportunity for visiting Murano and Burano in the afternoon. Then you have the following 2 full days to devote to Venice.

Can your hotel hold your luggage for a couple of hours while you visit Murano? Getting out to the airport, back to Murano, and out to the airport again is a lot of traveling on the day of departure.

Thank you all for your response. As suggested by Roberto, I will re-evaluate our plan and see if we can visit Murano/Burano on Thursday afternoon and stay on the Venice island(s) on Sunday a.m. until we leave for the airport.

I will post a response on exactly what we did after we return.

Have you checked that Alilaguna will let you board their boat at Fondamente Nove get off in Muranio and board a later boat all for the same price?

If you are that close to the top of the island why don't you hop over before you are going home? It is just a few minutes, depending on if the boat stops at the cemetery.

I'd be astonished if much is open on Easter Sunday.

Little enough is open on Sunday mornings on Murano during the rest of the year.

By the way - be careful. The clocks spring forward overnight into Easter Sunday. You may wake up and find that it is an hour closer to your departure than you thought.

Nigel, our intent was not to save on the Alilaguna transport cost but to make use of a free morning. Thanks for your pointer on clocks springing forward on Easter Sunday. I had assumed that the rest of the world starts daylight savings at the same time as the US.

Anyway, we have redone our plan (thanks Roberto for your advice) and will visit Murano/Burano/Torcello on Thursday. Teatro Fenice's web site shows it being open on the 27th (Easter Sunday) at 9:30 a.m. so we will visit it that day.

The schedule change has a bonus in that we will get by with just one 24-hour ACTV pass. We will traverse the Grand Canal on No. 1 ACTV when we return to Venice from Murano!

Many thanks to all who responded.
