It is the only island on Lake Como, a true natural jewel surrounded by breathtaking views. This enchanting place is known for its lush Mediterranean vegetation and offers a unique experience for those who love nature and tranquillity.

A Dive into Early Medieval History
In addition to its scenic beauty, Isola Comacina is an important archaeological area in northern Italy, particularly significant for the early medieval period. Here, history enthusiasts can explore the archaeological remains that tell centuries of history and culture.

A Centre of Artistic Creativity
The island is also a lively centre of artistic production, thanks to the summer residences of Italian and Belgian artists. The rationalist-style artists' houses are an interesting architectural attraction and a meeting point for the creative community.

How to get there
To get to the island, you can either take a comfortable taxi-boat to Ossuccio or use the Navigazione Lago di Como service, which departs directly from Como and various locations on the lake.
