As a tourist destination, Lake Como is popular for its landscapes, wildlife, and spas. It
is a venue for sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. In 1818 Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote
to Thomas Love Peacock: "This lake exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty, with the
exception of the arbutus islands of Killarney. It is long and narrow and has the
appearance of a mighty river winding among the mountains and the forests".
