ALBEROBELLO, ITALY

If you follow my adventures, maybe you know that Alberobello is one of my favorite places.

No place is better than Italy to slow travel in Europe with kids; the Mediterranean area is the kingdom of slow culture, Italians know how to relax and escape from stressing and busy life. Bring your children to the stunning countryside of southern Italy: spring is the best moment to really enjoy the beauties of Puglia before millions of tourists come and conquer it during summer! To go slow, go walking among the Trulli of Alberobello! Follow me on my Tapsy Tour adventure, kids will learn more about the local history and culture, in a funny and engaging way. This place is UNESCO World Heritage since 1996 for this unique buildings: kids can stroll wild and free through its streets, the local food is something delicious and it is the perfect starting point to explore the central area of Puglia. You are one hour far from Castel del Monte, 30 minutes from Polignano a Mare and one hour from Matera, the European capital of Culture 2019!

PROVENCE, FRANCE

Lavender fields, sun, never ending countryside, huge open-air spaces to stroll with kids, walking, hiking, ride-horsing, biking, this and much more is the Provence region, about one hour far from the main city of southern France, Marseille. Slow travel here is easy, here it is my plan: make a walking Tapsy Tour of the city with me, learning about pirates stories and soap masters, then escape to Aix-en-Provence and enjoy all the beauty and the history of the sunniest France region.

Don’t forget to taste Calissons, typical local dessert. Parental advice: wine is sooo good here, don’t miss to taste it!
