Description

For those of you who can only visit Lago di Como at the height of the tourist season, which is basically all summer long, we will share tips with you of how to avoid the crowds. There are several lesser-known villages that are worthy of a walk about and small enough that you can enjoy lunch with the locals.  You can also hike from village to village on the medieval foot paths that line the lake, providing views that will stop you in your tracks.Even choosing which ferry to take, can help you dodge the most crowded boats.  The allure of the lake is best seen by boat, so knowing from where and when to take a boat, will make your stay in Lago di Como as special as you hoped for, even in late July.[00:03:44] Avoiding crowds in Lake Como.[00:06:33] Exploring Italy by foot. [00:09:44] The mayhem at the dock.[00:12:07] Slower ferries and sunset restrictions. [00:15:14] Historic areas and hidden gems. [00:22:26] Unbelievable cemetery sculptures. [00:24:39] Complicated boat schedules [00:29:19] Don't miss the last boat. [00:31:39] Embracing sleepy villages in Lake Comohttps://www.kimberlysitaly.comInstagramFacebook

Welcome to Kimberly's Italy, a travel podcast focused on all things Italian. My love affair with Italy started with a move to Milan many years ago, and the enriching experience became part of my DNA. Our episodes highlight some of our own travels and the comical lessons we learned along the way. You can be the beneficiary of invaluable travel tips, and at the same time enjoy a few laughs. We share our passion of the Italian cuisine, history, art, architecture, and the welcoming nature of the Italian people, whom define this incredible country.
