The Finger Lakes region has been named the top lakeside retreat in the world by the editors of Shermans Travel, beating out contenders such as Lake Como in Italy and Lake Mead in Nevada.
Lake Kawaguchi in Japan was No. 2 and Italy’s Lake Como was No. 3.
Shermans Travel LLC, founded in 2002, is a New York City review and rating agency.
The 11 Finger Lakes "are interspersed by pastoral landscapes of quaint waterfront villages and scenic vistas of gushing waterfalls and rocky gorges,” the editors wrote of the 14-county region.
“This is just the latest in a long list of awards for our region,” said Cindy Kimble, president of the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance. “We’ve spent the past year and a half talking to the media about our region’s tremendous assets and the world is taking notice.” |
