A new route to the Italian city of Verona has taken off from Southampton Airport.

Resorts include; Malcesine, Torri del Benaco, Garda, Bardolino, Peschiera, Sirmione, Desenzano, Gardone Riviera, Limone and Riva.

Verona is the ideal destination for those wanting to spend their holiday time exploring beautiful scenery, whether it be the 'great outdoors' in the countryside or lakeside settings where they experience Italian café culture, wine tasting and leisurely boat trips across Lake Garda.

Lynsey Devon, Public Relations Manager from Inghams, said: “We are thrilled to introduce the first direct flight from Southampton to the Italian city of Verona working with our partners at Flybe. With this new flight, Inghams now offers a choice of 11 resorts around Lake Garda, which is a popular summer destination and the largest of northern Italy's great lakes.”
