This island has somehow managed to remain a local’s best-kept secret, despite being only an hour from Athens by ferry.
It’s the delicious local cuisine, opportunities to hike ancient restored mule tracks to remote beaches and ancient ruins, including temples dedicated to Apollo and Athena, along with plenty of opportunities for outstanding snorkeling and diving that bring so many back.
Nestled between the bountiful plains of Lombardy and the rugged peaks of the Dolomites, Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, unfolds as a majestic canvas painted with the vibrant hues of nature, history, and culture. This enchanting lake has been a muse for poets, a retreat for nobility, and a haven for travelers seeking the sublime.
