A Fairytale in Southern Italy

I’ve wanted to visit Alberobello for so long and finally at the end of 2024 I can tick it off my bucket list. It really is a fairytale place. It’s so nice just walking around the streets and so interesting that many people still live in these Trulli. There are some great museums housed inside some of the larger Trulli complexes and there are people who even open their homes to tourists, so you can see how, even today people live in these dwellings some of which date from the 14th century. I arrived early morning via coach from Bari and there were hardly any tourists around, from late morning onwards it did start to get busier, so if possible I would advise arriving early for an even more magical experience. #trulli #trullihouses #alberobello #italy #bari #puglia #apulia

Alberobello

Puglia (Apulia in English) holds a special place in my heart. White is the dominant tone here, and you’ll find yourself in a constant summer mood all year long. Like most of Italy, you’ll see that there’s no shortage of Unesco sites here, and Alberobello is one of them. This town is famous for its “trulli”, ancient round houses made of stone with a conical roof. While you can find them everywhere driving in the countryside amid seas of olive trees, the ones in Alberobello are the most famous and colourful ones. Walking throughout the village you’ll find small shops with handcrafted products and souvenirs, plus delicious local products like “tarallucci”, “orecchiette”, and olive oil (probably the best olive oil you’ll ever taste in your life, as Puglia is home to more than a billion olive trees!). It’s been touristy nowadays so the place tends to be a little bit crowded, but you can’t really miss a stop here. #italy #italytravel #italybeauties #alberobello #travelinspiration #ancienttowns #awesomepic #puglia #travellist
