We previously introduced ourselves to Varenna in the evening.

After finishing our errands and breakfast, it was time for us to explore the towns around Lake Como. We headed to the pier to buy tickets for the boat trip. They offered a "One Day Pass" which allowed us to visit specific zones. In my opinion, these zones included the main attractions we had planned to see, making it a cost-effective and convenient option compared to buying individual tickets.

The Lake Como tour that Nulek mentioned is located in the center of the map. For those who purchase a one-day pass, it is definitely worth it. You can visit all the main attractions. Just taking a boat trip is worth it. One of the advantages of taking a boat trip is that it allows you to enjoy 360-degree views. You can see all the angles around you. More importantly, the views in Lake Como are so beautiful all around, how can you resist?

Bellagio Bound: A Ferry Tale

After purchasing our tickets, my older brother and I debated our first destination. We ultimately settled on Bellagio. However, the ferry wasn't scheduled to arrive for some time, so we decided to explore the nearby market. As we strolled through the stalls, browsing the wares, the time passed quickly. Soon, it was time to board the ferry.

The ferry, a large vessel known as a "Traghetto" in Italian, was capable of transporting both passengers and vehicles, including cars and buses. This versatility made it an ideal choice for our journey. The trip to Bellagio took approximately 15 minutes.

Bellagio, also known as Bellagio, is a town located in the middle of the lake. It is another small town that is charming and beautiful, so much so that it is said to be the "Pearl of the Lake". This town is very popular with tourists.

As our vessel sailed further from the shore, the breathtaking beauty that awaited us unfolded. Crystal-clear waters and majestic mountains embraced us, creating a truly awe-inspiring panorama. It's no wonder that tourists couldn't resist capturing these stunning views, even if it meant taking countless photos from the same angles.

We finally arrived at Bellagio, a bustling town teeming with tourists. From the harbor, we embarked on a narrow, romantic stone staircase that ascended the hill, a charming feature that captivated visitors. The path was lined with shops and restaurants, perfect for window shopping enthusiasts. Leather goods, handbags, belts, silk, fans, umbrellas, dolls, and chic ceramics of all kinds were on display. While the brands may not be instantly recognizable, the quality is undeniably Italian-made. Be prepared, as the prices are not for the faint of heart.

This location is a popular photography spot in the city. The reason for its fame is that an Italian artist once sat here to paint, which subsequently led to the city's rise to prominence.

This is the corner where the Italian artist sat and painted.

The abundance and variety of goods available, coupled with our pent-up shopping desires, led us to disperse our income and spend some of our euros. While waiting for the others to finish spending their euros, I noticed some large, bright red strawberries and decided to try one. The taste was acceptable, perhaps suitable for those who prefer a slightly tart flavor.

We continued walking until we came across the city's main basilica, Basilica di San Giacomo. The exterior was simple and unassuming, but the interior was truly unique. The main altar was particularly striking, adorned with gleaming gold. As we entered, a religious ceremony was underway, so we stood at a distance to observe the proceedings before quietly retreating after a few moments.

The romantic atmosphere of this city is overwhelming, with couples flaunting their love everywhere, making me feel even more lonely. To make matters worse, I keep encountering handsome men, so charming that I can't help but secretly take pictures of them to daydream about. Maybe it's because I met Vittorio, the charming owner of the accommodation, this morning, and now every other man seems incredibly handsome. Looking at these pictures might be a good thing, though, as it will help me forget the image of Vittorio from this morning. This city doesn't seem to be suitable for single people. Visiting places like this often makes a beautiful girl's heart sink. But what can I do? I've come this far, so I might as well torture myself to the fullest. From Bellagio, we will continue to Lenno, where there is a must-see place. I guarantee that being single there will make you even sadder, lonelier, and more lovelorn. Why? Let's find out when we get on the boat.

Strikingly handsome.

The boat took us to Tremezzo.

Tremezzo is another stop on our ticket route. Here, there is a famous villa called Villa Carlotta, which has a beautiful garden worth visiting. However, it requires a significant amount of time, and we have other destinations planned, so we will skip it this time.
