Lake Garda is one of the largest lakes in Europe, with many charming, beautiful and undiscovered corners. For hundreds of years this area has been a popular holiday destination, with pretty lakeside towns and villages, beautiful countryside and dramatic cliffs plunging into the clear turquoise and blue waters. The lake offers holidays for everyone. The more active will be spoilt for choice with plenty of leisure activities including superb mountain walks and excellent sailing and windsurfing facilities. However, if you are a sun worshipper or would rather spend your holiday at a gentle pace, why not explore the ancient, narrow streets, sit in one of the many pavement caf?s soaking up the atmosphere, or just relax by the poolside with a drink. If you prefer to experience the culture and history of the region pay a visit to the many beautiful sites on Lake Garda including Romeo and Juliet's city of love, Verona. Lake Garda is ideal for young and old alike with something to appeal to everybody. There are plenty of lively discos and bars or quiet, tranquil restaurants, where you can try the local specialities including Pasta e Fagioli (thick bean soup) and Baccala with Polenta (salted cod), along with the traditional favourites, pizza and pasta. Whichever resort you choose you will find superb Italian cuisine, a chic Mediterranean atmosphere and spectacular alpine scenery. |
