WHICH ITALIAN LAKE SHOULD I VISIT?

LAKE GARDA...'the playground lake’
This is the largest lake in Italy (370 sq. kms), surrounded by stunning diverse scenery ranging from majestic steep cliffs and mountains in the north to verdant, rolling hills in the south. Situated between Venice and Milan, and on the edge of the Dolomites, it’s the most visited lake and is especially popular with families, with mild winters and warm summers.

It offers a range of outdoor activities from windsurfing, kite surfing and rock climbing in the north, to kayaking, jet skiing, sailing, fishing and boat trips. Tennis, golf and cycling are all popular, as is horse riding, mountain hiking and cycling.

Lake Garda Holidays. Sirmione


There are many historical sites to explore, with ancient ruins, castles, caves and fortresses and beautiful lakeside gardens. Sirmione is a popular southern town which has Roman ruins and an eye-catching town centre. Visit Scaligero castle, the grottoes of Catullus and the archaeological museum. Sirmione is also near to pretty VERONA of Romeo and Juliet fame. Riva del Garda is a stunning northern, medieval town which is popular for its sporting activities (especially windsurfing), shopping experiences and history.

Freshly caught fish from the lake, and locally produced cheese, olive oil, honey and wines, are all waiting to be sampled in the comprehensive range of lakeside eateries.
