The area is home to different traditions and cultures. On one hand, the towns situated directly on the lake have a long tradition tied to fishing, which is still practiced and ensures a year-round supply of good fresh fish with tasty, white meat. The towns further up the hills, on the other hand, have their roots in agriculture and sheep-farming, producing excellent local products such as cheeses, wine and olive oil.

Situated along shores of the lake are charming, characterful villages and ancient, prestigious villas with beautiful botanical gardens that are often open to the public, allowing them to admire their natural and architectural beauties and the works of art and learn about their history. Exploring the area by boat is an unforgettable experience.
