A view of the Castiglione del Lago ferry dock taken from the shoreline of Lago Trasimeno just below the town on a hot summer day when everything looked blue. There are three islands on the lake, Isola Polvese, Isola Maggiore, Isola Minore and there are regular ferry services that criss cross the lake stopping at various towns on the lake and, of course, the islands. Castiglione del Lago is one of the main stopping points and in the summer this dock is teeming with tourists. Lago Trasimeno is the largest lake in the centre and south of Italy and many of its shores are covered in reed beds, which local craftsmen use to create beautiful reed umbrellas and screens.
