things to do in Sirmione
I visited the town of Sirmione on several occasion while running over in Northern Italy.it is a totally picturesque and historical city full of interest and charm.Its old fortifications have been the challenge of many camera angles with the aid of admiring vacationers.genuinely it's miles one of the maximum popular attractions at the lake.you will discover it located at the southern beaches of Lake Garda in the province of Brescia.It lies on the stop of a thin peninsula that protrudes out into the lake affording a wide view of the excellent surroundings.Plus in the city you may locate masses to look and do
n fact the peninsula is how the town got its name as it derives from the Greek word 'syrma' which means 'tail' or 'train'. It was described by the ancient poet Catullo as the "pearl of all islands and peninsulars" when he was one of its residents in the 1st century B.C.
Then in 1880 Alfred Tennyson waxed lyrically "There to me through all the groves of olive in the summer glow, There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow" as he described a visit to the town. And to this day Sirmione is still a very popular attraction with visitors.
The first time I went there was by bicycle from Peschiera where I worked on a campsite and which was about 6 miles away. I spent an afternoon sampling its delights on a warm sunny June day in summer.
