These islands are situated between the mainland of Italy and Sicily. The trip started in Naples with a visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum. Afterwards we explored the different picturesque islands (Salina, Lipari, Vulcano, Stromboli) with the climb of the active volcano Stromboli as climax.

Nowadays, Pompeii is the best open-air museum to get to know a Roman city. The basilica at the forum was the most important building of the city.
