🌟I really like Lake Como, the most beautiful lake in Milan, Italy, and Varenna, the most beautiful town. This is my third time visiting Milan, and I make a special trip to check in each time to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In the town of Varenna, I find my inner self. 🌟Here, you can be surrounded by flowers, and you can also take a boat trip around Lake Como to admire the scenery of other surrounding towns.
