An old postcard of
The Lake Garda is also called
Benaco and it is the largest
lake in Italy.
It is located in Northen Italy,
about half-way between
Venice and Milan.
It is in an alpine region and was
formed by glaciers at the end
of the last Ice Age.
This pretty little town
is on the western of
the Lake Garda.
The Northen part of the Lake
is narrower, surrounded by
mountains.
The main tributary
of Lake Garda is
the Sarca river,
while the only
emissary
is the Mincio river.
The Lake Garda has five
islands, the largest is
Isola del Garda.
Nearby is “Isola San Biagio”,
also known as the
Isola dei Conigli
“Island of the Rabbits”.
The three smaller islands are:
• Isola dell’Olivo
• Isola del Sogno
• Isola di Trimelone.
Val di Sogno and
“Isle of Dream”
of the Lake Garda.
It’s very,
very nice!
In the picture there
is the
“ Torre Scaligera,
in Sirmione”,
a small and nice
town on the
peninsula of
Garda’s Lake.
The ancient fortified town
of Sirmione, located on the
south of the lake, is one
particolarly wonderful
destination, home to Virgilio
and Catullo spa Complexes.
The picturesque Scaliger Castle
dates from the 13th century.
The Roman poet Catullus had
a villa here, and visitors can see
the ruined Roman spa named
the “Grotte di Catullo”.
Come with us, we are
going to sail on Garda’s
