- Looks like the ocean but it's a lake - (2)

Yes, this is the largest lake in Italy, Lago di Garda, with crystal clear waters and with this beautiful tone that enchants tourists from all over the world.

It extends over an area of about 370 km² at an altitude of 65 meters above sea level. The lake has five islands, and several cities around it, as well as Lake Como.

 

Sirmione, the so-called Pearl of Garda, is a charming town that draws attention for its thermal waters and Roman ruins. But it also has freshwater beaches bathed by the famous lake and a historic center with monuments that so enchant us in Italy.

 

Special mention has to be made for the Castle Scaligero, built between the 13th and 14th centuries and very well preserved. The castle has a 37-meter high tower that provides one of the best views of the landscape.
