Italy Isola San Giulio
Legend tells that it was truly San Giulio to eradicate the dragons and serpents that infected the island (perhaps a symbol of a pre-existing pagan settlement), and he chose the island as the venue for his church. San Giulio island is the only island in the beautiful lake Orta.
Photography Tips
I taken this picture during the blue hour.
Travel Information
Orta San Giulio is easy to reach and there is enough of parking.
Be aware that during the summer season you will be subject to mosquito squads enjoying tourists all day long and especially at dusk... Without the proper mosquito repellent you will not be able to stay more than 3 to 5 minutes (max!) before being forced to make a retreat (this is NOT a joke).
