The Smaller Italian Lakes

When people speak of traveling to Italy to visit the lakes, they are always talking about the same three: Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda. While these lakes are definitely beautiful and certainly worth visiting, there are many more hidden gems in Italy that are not nearly as touristy, but still beautiful.

One such lake is Lake Lugano, not nearly as popular as the others, but just as beautiful and still in the same region of Lombardy. This lake has shores on both Italy and Switzerland. This lake is very famous for the fishing available there as well as the numerous cherry trees that are along its shores.

Lake Iseo is also located in the Italian Lakes region, between Lake Garda and Lake Como. It is the location of Monte Isola, one of the most beautiful islands in the world, and also the biggest island of any of the lakes in the Southern part of Europe.

Lake Trasimeno is another gorgeous lake in Italy. This lake is known for having very verdant surroundings full of vegetation. There are numerous olive trees on the hills, and numerous vineyards in the area. All kinds of foods are growing along its shores.

Lake Idro is another great lake to visit. Unfortunately, it is currently the center of a lot of controversy due to the pollution being dumped into the lake there by electric companies. Right now a lot of environmental groups are working to put an end to it. Regardless of the situation, it is still a breathtaking view to take in.

When you are planning your Italian Lakes Holidays, but sure not to forget these little lakes too!
