Our first full day in Veneto, we drove to Lago di Garda, the largest lake in Italy, which is surrounded by little vacation towns, camp grounds and public beaches. We stopped to explore the town of Sermione and loved it immediately. It is on the tip of a little peninsula, so there is water on both sides of the town. Lots of cafes, beach areas, parks, shops, and places to relax. A lot of Italians vacation at Lake Garda for a week or two in summer.
We drove to another town on the east bank of the lake called Lazise. Here we laid out at a public beach (they actually have sand here!) and soaked up some sun. We strolled around the town, again very picturesque, and had lunch at one of the cafes. I can definitely see why people enjoy vacationing here. It is very relaxed and there are plenty of hotels, but also villas to rent for the week and enjoy with friends or family.
We found a great wine shop where we stocked up for the evening... And also a bottle of olive oil that I could not resist. The prices are so reasonable for such delicious things!
