More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a stone quay and the lake widens before you—glass-blue water that pulls the boat's bow into a slow, confident rhythm. The tender hums under a sun awning as villas slide past: frescoed façades, clipped gardens, and a jetty or two where locals launch rowing skiffs.
