Matera, a city that enchants
Italy has many beautiful and impressive cities, but Matera is different. The city is special in every respect: it’s history to touch on every corner, the scenery casts a spell on you and every stone seems to tell its own story.

Visiting Vesuv and Pompeji with Kids: an exceptional experience
If you come to the Naples area, you will find it omnipresent, the only active volcano left on the mainland of Italy.

When we set the next destination in the direction of Naples, it was clear that this was a must see on our Italy roadtrip with our three kids.
