(11/133) @holidaytoursth Holiday Tours TH www.holidaytoursthailand.com HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ILALIAN LAKES 8 Days 2 Countries 5 Cities THE ITALIAN LAKES ARE SURE TO BE A SOURCE OF PEACE AND SERENITY. QUAINT LAKESIDE VILLAGES COMBINED WITH THE BACKDROP OF THE ALPS, THE SHEER BEAUTY OF THESE LANDSCAPES WILL BE ONE TO REMEMBER. THE ITINERARY Day 1 Arrive Milan – Saronno (2 Nights) Arrive in Milan and head to Saronno, a pretty little town best known for the famous Amaretto liqueur whose honey- almond flavours are a sweet delight after dinner. You'll have some time to explore on your own before meeting your Travel Director and travel companions for an included dinner at your hotel. Hotel - Starhotels Grand Milan Included Meals - Dinner Day 2 Lake Como Excursion It's just a short hop to Lake Como, whose deep blue waters have inspired great writers like Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway. Once you've arrived, you'll see for yourself why this idyllic retreat has endured as a firm favourite among aristocrats, celebrities and locals since Roman times. Board your included cruise to Bellagio, the pearl of the lake, with its steep lanes and sophisticated harbour area. Soak up the fresh lake breeze, as you cruise past luxurious villas and elegant terraced gardens that line the lush hills along the lake's expansive coastline. You could spend hours sipping a refreshing Spritz and watching the world go by but you'll want to join an optional dinner in Como instead. Included Meals – Breakfast Day 3 Saronno – Lugano (Switzerland) – Lake Maggiore (2 Nights) As you cross the border into Switzerland this morning, you may do a double take arriving in Lugano, known as the 'Monte Carlo of Switzerland'. Italy has had quite the magic touch on shaping its culinary, cultural and architectural scene as you'll come to see in its piazze and along the narrow streets. Choose an optional scenic cruise on Lake Lugano or take a leisurely stroll along its lakeside promenades or indulge in some well-deserved retail therapy - the city is famous for its high-end fashion boutiques. Once you've bagged all the best buys, return to Italy for a two-night stay at your hotel on the western shores of Lake Maggiore, Italy's second-largest lake. Tuck into another Italian cena before turning in for the evening. 02 2362800 02 2376156 [email protected] Holiday Tours & Travel (Thailand) Ltd. (11/133) @holidaytoursth Holiday Tours TH www.holidaytoursthailand.com Hotel - Villa Carlotta Included Meals – Breakfast, Dinner Day 4 Lake Maggiore Free Day Immortalised in Hemingway's 1920s novel 'A Farewell to Arms', Lake Maggiore is one of Italy's most scenic lake landscapes. With so many hidden treasures to uncover, we've included a free day for you to do whatever you wish. You won't need to wander far for those same epic views of the surrounding mountains and "lake in the sunlight" to inspire you as they did him. One of our favourite options is to join an exhilarating excursion to the Borromean Islands, purchased by the Borromeo family in the 16th century and still owned by them. Explore the magnificent palace and elegant gardens that remain dotted across the lake's islands and islets to this day. Included Meals – Breakfast Day 5 Lake Maggiore – Verona – Lake Garda Scenic Drive – Rovereto (2 Nights) Lose yourself in the tragic love affair of Romeo and Juliet when you visit Verona. Your orientation tour of this romantic Italian city will include views of the ancient Roman Arena and balcony where a fictional Juliet once called for her Romeo. During your free time, visit the Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore - one of the most important religious buildings in the area and the site where the two star-crossed lovers bound themselves together for eternity. The sun at its peak, we take a scenic drive along Lake Garda, renowned for its crystal-clear waters. Snap a selfie and admire the view before arriving at your hotel for your two-night stay Hotel - Mercure Nerocubo Included Meals – Breakfast Day 6 Lake District Free Day Throw your guidebook out the window and switch off your phone. This is the perfect time to indulge in a relaxing siesta, as Italian families have done for centuries. Kick back on the shores of Lake Garda and reflect on the stunning natural beauty that surrounds you, watch the world go by or let your mind contemplate your next journey. If you're feeling energetic, you could make the most of your time by joining a full-day Optional Experience to Bolzano, capital of southern Tyrol. Shop in the arcaded streets and soak up the mountain views. Included Meals – Breakfast Day 7 Rovereto – Bergamo – Milan (1 Night) Our return journey to Milan would not be complete without a stop in Bergamo, enveloped within Venetian walls whose construction famously caused eight excommunications by the local clergy. You may agree it was worth it when you board the funicular which has been ferrying locals and visitors for over a century to the Upper Town, enjoying the most breathtaking views of the town's beautiful gardens and even the Apennines on a clear day. Arriving in Milan, your walking tour with a Local Specialist will reveal some of the city's most treasured sights, including the 19th-century Gothic Duomo and La Scala Opera House, which you could choose to visit as an Optional Experience. Later, you'll toast a fond farewell to an exhilarating journey over dinner at your hotel with new friends.

    Overview Selected Tour Start Date: Saturday, June 12th, 2021 Bicycle Tours in Italy: Cycling Italy's Piedmont Plus! Lake Maggiore OVERVIEW Italy's Piedmont region is surrounded on three sides by a great arc of the Alps as they rise out of the Mediterranean Sea and curve north and east through France, Switzerland and Italy to Austria. Within this great curve of mountains the Po River rises, forming a broad, fertile plain that forms Italy's longest river flowing into the Adriatic Sea. It was in the western part of this valley that the Kings of Savoy built castles and fortified cities to protect wine merchants from intrusions by marauding pirates. And it was here that Count Camillo Cavour first proposed the idea of a unified Italian state. The food, the history and the landscape make the Piedmont an ideal destination for cyclists. This cycling tour through the Piedmont region and the Lakes District tour combines the best of Italian and French cuisine and wine with scenic pedaling through rolling hills dotted with vineyards and castles. ***If this sounds great but you prefer a shorter tour check out our Cycling Italy's Piedmont tour, which features the first 8 days of this itinerary.*** HIGHLIGHTS Piedmont vineyards and wine tastings, Gourmet regional cuisine, 2 nights in the Langhe area famous for its wine, cheese and truffles, 2 nights in the Roman town of Acqui Terme, Monferrato, Lake Maggiore, A complete overview of this amazing region, Guided visit of Bene Vagienna Archaeological site TOUR FACTS Classic: Learn more about our Classic tours at https://www.experienceplus.com/tours/bike-tour- Tour Style styles/classic-tours 12 days, 11 nights accommodation;meals as noted in itinerary; 2 wine and a cheese tasting; guided Includes visit of Bene Vagienna Archaelogical site; and the usual (see below).

  • Italy Geography, Topography and Climates
    Due parole sull’Italia: Geografia e clima • Italy is roughly the size of Arizona and it is a country of extremely varied landscapes and climates. • Italy is located in Southern Europe. It occupies a large peninsula that juts into the Mediterranean Sea, and two large islands: Sardinia and Sicily. Four different sections of the Mediterranean surround the peninsula from three sides: the Adriatic Sea to the east, the Ionian Sea to the south, and the Ligurian Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west. • The peninsula resembles a boot, so much so that the country is often referred to as "the boot" - lo stivale - with the Puglia region in the southeast as the "heel of the boot" and the Calabria region in the southwest as the "toe of the boot." • From West to East, Italy is bordered by France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. • Two big mountain ranges define the peninsula: the imposing mountain chain of the Alps in the north, and the Apennines, a series of mountain ranges bordered by narrow coastlands that form the physical backbone of the peninsula. • The Alps separate Central Europe from the Italian peninsula. The location of the Alps, as well as the great variations in their elevations and exposure, give rise to differences in climate within a particular section. Although the Alps are high and imposing, they are not entirely inaccessible: it has been calculated that in the 16th century there were already 23 passes. • Italy is a volcanically active country, containing the only active volcanoes in mainland Europe. It was Mount Vesuvius, near Naples, that buried the famous Roman town of Pompeii.
