With the summer – or what passed for the summer in Britain, at any rate – over with for another year, you could be forgiven for feeling a little bereft. After all, the prospect of slogging away at work for months on end isn’t a particularly enticing one, at least not for most of us. You may have already started counting down the days to your next holiday, though, and if you haven’t – why not? There are many different destinations all over Europe just waiting to be explored. It’s always worthwhile getting away from the drudgery of the daily routine and recharging your batteries, which is why you might want to find out more about what European holidays have to offer. Italy has long been established as a firm favourite among visitors from all over the world. Its welcoming climate, fascinating history, enthralling culture and spectacular scenery continue to draw millions of tourists each and every year. The Italian lakes are particularly popular, and it’s not hard to see why. Of course there are many different lakes across Italy, but the string of glacial lakes in the north of the country is by far and away one of the most popular destinations the country has to offer. If you’re looking for somewhere that offers the perfect opportunity to relax in truly spectacular surroundings, you’ll struggle to find anywhere that fits the bill better than the Italian lakes. The four best-known lakes in the region are Lake Maggiore, Lake Lugano, Lake Como and Lake Garda. The town of Bellagio, situated close to Lake Como, is frequently feted by tourists as one of the most beautiful towns anywhere in Italy, and with good reason. There’s also the Lake Maggiore resort of Stresa, which emerged as a tourism hotspot after the 1906 opening of the Simplon rail tunnel and soon became a favourite among royalty and artists alike – Ernest Hemingway is just one of those drawn to the town. Of course, there may be the thrill-seekers among who are wondering just what would be on offer for them on a trip to the Italian lakes. The good news is that there’ll be plenty of opportunity to enjoy some adrenaline-pumping thrills if you’re that way inclined – the Lake Garda resort of Torbole is well-known as a watersports centre, while you can also try your hand at paragliding and canyoning in the Monte Baldo area. To find out more about what Italian lakes holidays have to offer, simply take a quick look online. Italy has a long-standing reputation as a tourism hotspot, and Sorrento holidays are particularly popular.
