Small and only tip of land above the deep waters of Lake Como, Comacina Island is a green and wooded cliff in an inlet of the western coast of the lake. The stretch of water between the island and the coast, dotted with the sails and masts of the boats moored in peaceful waters, is always been known as Zoca de l’Oli: calm and smooth waters like the oil that is still home-made from the olive trees grown on the area. For its historical relevance, its important archeological remains, its landscape and tourism value, the glamour and appeal of Sagra di San Giovanni – a traditional early-summer feast, the island represents an essential and significant halt in your visit to lake Como.
