Trulli in Alberobello, Italy. The trulli , limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia, are remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.

Volendam is a village in Holland known for its fishing history. The village is situated in the province of North Holland along the sea, called Zuiderzee. It has a nice harbour and still a vivid fishing scene. Marken is a village in the municipality of Waterland in the province of North Holland, Netherlands. It occupies a peninsula in the Markermeer. It was, until 1957, an island in the former Zuiderzee. The characteristic wooden houses of Marken are a tourist attraction.
Yes I’m a crime series fan too (but not true crime). The series is Der Usedom Krimi. It is shown in the UK as Nordic Murders (with English subtitles), that may seem random but Nordic Noir is a big thing here, books and tv series etc, so guess they were trying to draw people in. It, more logically, is shown elsewhere according to IMDB as Baltic Crimes. I think Amazon Prime have it streaming in some countries, not here as Channel 4 tv have the rights and have shown it terrestrially and now stream it as part of their Walter Presents strand. This article gives an overview of series 1 (4 series have been shown) here
As you mention Italian made me think I miss there will be no more Inspector Montalbano books or series, I quite liked Young Montalbano too.
Lovely, a case of pick where you would like to live. There is a German crime series set on Usedom, they have never featured colourful houses!
