Roaming Como - jvfolio

There is a particular kind of freedom that comes from seeing Lake Como from the water. No destination demanding your attention, no road deciding what comes next — just the boat roaming between mountains and villages while the shoreline reveals itself a little at a time.

From the stern, the Italian flag catches the breeze as the wake rolls outward across the deep green water. Villas and tiny settlements cling to the foot of the mountains, appearing for a moment before the changing course of the boat rearranges the entire view.

Maybe that is the best way to experience Como: not simply arriving somewhere, but wandering through it — letting the lake decide what you see next.
