A new, elegant and sophisticated restaurant with reasonable prices, "CHALETGINEPRO," has opened. We stopped on the way down: two delicious first courses, a shared mixed fried dish, water, and two coffees for €30. The restaurant owner was very kind and even brought us two hot sandwiches, seeing how hungry we were. Very nice, he said he'd just opened and was planning to create a space for bicycles and motorcycles.

This island in the middle of Lake Iseo is Europe's largest inland lake island. A detour is certainly worthwhile, but according to the notice at the shipping company's pier, crossing by bicycle is not permitted from March to September.

The lake is reminiscent of its big brother, Lake Garda, only it's not quite as crowded. The setting and vegetation are almost identical. The harbor of Iseo is definitely worth a visit to unwind. I think the light is more beautiful in the morning because you don't see it from the front!
