115. The Beauty and History of Italy's Lesser Known Lakes

Lake Lugano, Lake Maggiore and Lake d'Orta are all geographically stunning and full of history, like the rest of Italy. We felt a bit remiss by always taking about Lake Como, so we decided to fill you in on what each of these three lakes offer as well.A majority of Lake Lugano is in Switzerland and the top third of Lake Maggiore is as well, so that's gives you the opportunity to get a Swiss stamp in your passport! However, the language, cuisine and wine will all be Italian, so fear not!Lago d'Orta is a very small but very special lake, rich in history and beauty. The sole island in the lake welcomes visitors, but in silence, since it's inhabitants are Benedictine Nuns. It's a one-of-a-kind experience to walk on the one stone path through this island, and definitely a visit you will not forget.CNN Link:  Click Herehttps://www.kimberlysitaly.com Instagram Facebook
