If I could imagine the perfect spa experience, it

With all its narrow streets and layers of historic

With all its narrow streets and layers of historic, Salerno’s medieval town center is fascinating to explore. I was taking some photos and didn’t see my husband when I turned around. I found him nearby reading a sign in this interesting spot. I love the old Tipografia sign painted on the wall, the wooden roof beams under the arch, and that peculiar blue around the tiny window. It was completely silent in this little corner, but I imagine there were moments in time when it bustled with activity.

We’re going through a rainy period here on the Amalfi Coast, which is a bit unusual for September. But what is usual about this year? The season would normally run through the end of a October, but because of the bad weather and rough sea prediction many boats have been pulled out of the water or moved to more protected ports and ferry service has been suspended. The weather will be nice again, but with Covid-19 and the quieter days it’s hard to say what the next month will look like. I’m sure it will be quite different just like this entire year!

A lot of people think of the Amalfi Coast as a beach destination and with the abundance of stunning beaches along the coastline that certainly makes sense. Admittedly this Nebraska born girl isn’t the biggest beach person in the world. Or maybe it’s because I live here all year long. But it’s moments like this that for me are just as much a part of what makes the Amalfi Coast so special. In Atrani yesterday I walked underneath an important piece of history for both Amalfi and Atrani. This is the Church of San Salvatore de Birecto in Atrani and it was founded in the 10th century. This was the place where the investiture ceremonies were held for the dukes of the Republic of Amalfi in the Middle Ages. We’re so fortunate here to be surrounded by so much natural beauty as well as a rich history to discover. All this on a walk to meet friends for an aperitivo!

Hello sunset glow in Sant’Angelo. ✨ This small seaside town on the southern side of Ischia is a place to put on your travel dream list once traveling is easier again one day hopefully very soon. It’s peaceful, extremely pretty (as you can see), and you can hop on water taxis to the nearby Spiaggia dei Maronti (for Elena Ferrante fans and beautiful clear water for swimming) or the bubbling thermal hot spring right in the sea at Sorgeto.

Curious to find out more about Sant’Angelo and Ischia? There’s an entire chapter on the islands of Ischia and Procida in my guidebook Moon Amalfi Coast. Never too early to start planning next year’s Italy trip of your dreams!

Nothing fancy. Just a smattering of boats in Capri

This incredible coastline continually amazes me. I

This incredible coastline continually amazes me. It’s impossible to capture the magic on a quick video, but this stretch near the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula has such an untouched beauty. Just behind those rocks with three similar ridges is the beautiful Baia di Ieranto. Way up high you’ll see a small white building in an isolated spot. That’s the Convento di San Costanzo and is just one of the many great hiking spots around the tip of the peninsula. I hope to spend more time hiking there this autumn!
