The Thousand Islands, or Kepulauan Seribu, is a breathtaking archipelago just a short boat ride from Jakarta. Comprising over a hundred small islands, this tropical paradise is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and diverse marine life, making it a haven for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts. Each island has its own charm, from the tranquil beaches of Pulau Macan to the historical allure of Pulau Onrust with its colonial-era ruins. Visitors can enjoy activities like kayaking, island hopping, and lounging on pristine sands, all while immersing themselves in the serene beauty of this idyllic retreat.

“The Garrison” is another part of Bridgetown’s UNESCO World Heritage and a small district south of downtown. During the 18th and 19th century, it was the headquarters of the British West India Regiment in Barbados – evidenced in the remaining fortifications, cannons, and the iconic clock tower. The Garrison Savannah racetrack is a big part of the site, and you can watch horse races of the Barbados Turf Club here to this day.

This museum is housed in a former military prison close to the Garrison. Several exhibitions display the natural history of the island, the furnishing of plantations houses and the life of early inhabitants, the Amerindians. There also is an interactive children’s section and a library.

Alberobello is located 60 kilometres away from the centre of Bari and it's undoubtedly one of the most picturesque towns in the world, as it consists entirely of tiny Trulli houses — traditional dry stone huts with a corbelled roof. You'll definitely fall in love with this peculiar, magical spot, so make sure to pay it a visit.
