Best national parks for families in Italy

Cinque Terre is the most family-friendly park in Italy for a simple reason: a train links the five villages every few minutes, so any walk can be cut short. Elsewhere, boats do the work: to the coves of Zingaro, around Capo Caccia at Porto Conte, to Asinara and its donkeys. The Alcantara gorges are for paddling in summer, and the path to the crater of Vesuvius takes half an hour from the car park.
