The good ones
Every spot is a numbered stop on its colour line, so the chip on a card matches the pin on the map, airport-map style.
The family winner, shaded by pine. A sandy shallow section for the little ones, plus a big inflatable aqua park out on the water for bigger kids. Easily a four to six hour outing.
The favourite gelateria, tucked at the back of the main square. Parents head in for a leisurely evening gelato, a casual meetup around 9:30pm.
Home base: the pool, the gym, the cafeteria worth trying once for the nostalgia, and the top-floor Learning Center where camp drop-off and pickup happen.
