The Amalfi Coast is on my shortlist as one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places that I have ever been. Jammed with tourists but it is STILL worth a visit. Most Americans tend to stay in Sorrento on the Bay of Naples & day trip to the coast Rick Steves must have told them and access to Naples & Pompeii is certainly easier from there but the magic is all on the southern part of the mountain spine imho. A car is a useless appendage except for ins & outs or for day-tripping off the coast. Driving is challenging - to put it mildly.
And Sicily is fabulous but it is a whole vacation on its own imho. We spent over 2 weeks there. Outside of very gritty Palermo & Catania or touristy Taormina which is still a must see the small hilltop towns & villages are incredible.
