Malcesine has a lot to offer tourists, and if you are planning a trip to the region, the islands on Lake Garda are definitely something you should consider. Isola dell’Olivo, which translates to the Island of the Olive, is one of the five islands on the beautiful Lake Garda. There is a cave that divers can explore, the shallowest part of the cave being 13 meters and the deepest part being 30 meters. Therefore, this makes for a perfect dive site for divers of all levels, including first timers. Inside the cave is a whole other universe full of a wide variety of flora and fauna. The sights are simply amazing and if you are into underwater photography, you can be sure to capture beautiful photos inside the cave.

You can either sail or fly to the island, and you will not have trouble finding a place to land or park your boat. If you are lucky, you might get the opportunity to watch sailing races from the island because of its ideal location. For instance, the Centomiglia takes place on the first Sunday of September every year and Isola dell’Olivo provides a vantage point to watch the regatta from. This is the biggest sailing race in Europe, and witnessing it would be a great experience. Besides all these, there are plenty of rocks on Isola dell’Olivo on which you can lie and sunbathe as you take in all the beautiful scenery and enjoy the warm breeze.
