This attractive resort, located on the western shore of Lake Como, is a joy for outdoor enthusiasts who may be tempted by wind surfing and water-skiing on the lake, as well as golf and horseback riding in the countryside.

From our apartment in Acquaseria we took the beautiful walk along the lake to Menaggio (3.5 km). In the charming town of Menaggio we visited some nice shops, went to the tourist office and sat on a terrace overlooking the lake where we saw the Ferry arrive and depart. We really like that Menaggio is so close to Acquaseria.

Historic neighborhood located at the base of the hill topped by the Acropolis.
Reviewed By megan-woodruff - Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine
This area of town came highly recommended from friends that have visited Athens multiple times. It is full of delicious restaurants, great shopping (touristy stuff and clothes/shoes), and has a very young and hipster-ish vibe. There is plenty to do and see, but it gets pretty crowded and busy, so steer clear if that isn't your scene.

The left hand side of Dorosoduro you have the sunny Zattere a long paved area where locals walk their dogs, children on scooters, more local life - the righthand side is the Grande Canale which is lined with some fabulous Palazzo's, my favourite is Palazzo Dario with its beautiful ornate frontage and extremely tall chimneys - it has a very chequered past. There are many squares both large and small, my favourite is Campo Santa Margherita, one of the city's liveliest , its fish stall, flower stall, numerous, outdoor cafés/ restaurants, excellent ice-cream shops and very small ones. At the far end leads into Campo San Barnaba where an unusal canal barge is moored selling fabulous fresh vegetables and fruit. The bridge at the side, Ponte dei Pugni notice the footsteps - this is were rival families used to fight. Leaving Zattere you walk at the side of the Rio di San Trovaso, Church of San Trovaso looking out over a grassy square, next door is Venice's oldest boatyards, gondolas are still made and maintained. This area is a true oasis of peace - small stone bridges, pretty canals, mansions. The crowning glory is the most beautiful and majestic San Salute church and a little further down the customs house. Jump on a waterbus at San Salute, as you slowly meander along the Grande Canale you will see the most amazing beautiful Palazzo's Take time to wander around this wonderful quarter of the city, it is fascinating - we have stayed here 6 times, and always find something new to see every time.

Perugia’s ancient walled hilltop city is a delight to explore. It’s relatively compact although there are some steep up/down sections that may prove challenging. There are churches, museums, old palaces, a Roman aqueduct (part of which can be walked), beautiful buildings dating back many hundreds of years, an Estrucan well, an international university, a fabulous subterranean city, restaurants, cafes and much more. Simply wandering the narrow cobbled lanes are the best way to explore and enjoy the ancient atmosphere. Behind some of the buildings located on Piazza Matteotti are public terraces that offer sweeping views of the Umbrian countryside. The best part...no crowds! Just locals and students going about their daily routines. An authentic slice of life in Umbria.

Having visited Palermo, Trapani, Agrigento, Ortigia and Taormina, I have to say our last stop at Cefalu ultimately had it all. Lovely clean beach, clear water with few waves (ideal for little kids), charming streets and nice restaurants. Every other place excelled in one way or another, but Cefalu ticked all the boxes. Ideal even for a long weekend.
