Day 3 Bellagio: Ferry trip on Lake Como

Martedì 1 settembre


Three gorgeous photos by Penny.

 View of the buildings along a pretty salita in Bellagio.



From Bellagio, looking towards Lenno.



Beautiful Varenna - ' a luxuriance of trees and flowers is favoured by a mild and sweet climate'

We decided to spend the day exploring the neighbouring lakeside villages - Lenno, Tremezzo, Menaggio and Varenna - which you can reach by the hop on and off ferries which operate between them, the 15 euro for an all day ticket was really good value - we never really did get the hang of the timetable, but the ferries were frequent, so no real problems!



Here is a selection of shots.









At Tremezzo







A few scenes at the Lenno market ....

Glace mangoes I think?









At Mennagio

Penny stopped at Varenna for these......






Two views that I took of Varennna from the ferry as it was pulling away.






Back to Bellagio



Later on, we had a delicious vegetarian pizza e insalata at the Barchetta pizzeria with a wood-fired pizza oven just in the next street.
