It is my joy to bring to life my first travel guide to the entire Amalfi Coast area for Moon Travel Guides. It will include an in depth guide to the Amalfi Coast along with Capri, Ischia, Procida, the Sorrento Peninsula, Naples, and Pompeii.

For the 8th edition to this classic guide to the Amalfi Coast, I was involved with a complete review of the Amalfi Coast section, including updates, additions and adding my passion for the Amalfi Coast!
