Isola  San  Giulio​

​The picturesque lake island of Isola San Giulio is situated on Lake Orta, facing the equally scenic town of Orta San Giulio.

The island can be reached via the Lake Orta ferry service from a number of towns and villages around the lake. Centrepiece of the island is the Basilica di San Giulio but there are also places to eat and drink while exploring its quiet and narrow alleyways.
