One of the lesser-known lakes in northern Italy, Lake Iseo is just as captivating as its larger, starrier neighbours. Staying out of the tourism limelight has its advantages, however - Lake Iseo has a calm, tranquil aura that attracts those looking to enjoy the outdoors and Italian life at a wound down pace.
