  4. Comacina Island is one of the best places to swim on Lake Como. The canal that separates it from the mainland is famous for its clear and quiet waters and is often called the “Portofino of Lake Como”. In addition to its natural beauty, the island has a fascinating history: in 1169 it was completely destroyed by fire during the conflicts between Como and Milan. Since then it has not been rebuilt, leaving visible even today archaeological remains and ruins, which make the island a unique place, where nature and history meet.

About Lake Como

Lake Como is a deep, Y-shaped lake in Lombardy, ringed by steep green mountains, pastel villages, ornate villas and terraced gardens.

Lake Como is shaped like an upside-down Y, with three arms that meet near Bellagio. At more than 400 metres deep, it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, held between steep wooded slopes that rise towards the Alps. Villages with painted houses and small harbours stand along the water, and a network of ferries links them, making a boat the best way to see the shoreline.

Top-ranked sights in Lake Como: Villa del Balbianello, Villa Melzi Gardens (Giardini di Villa Melzi), Como-Brunate Funicular Railway (Funicolare Como-Brunate).
