Moon Charleston & Savannah

Travel writer and Savannah native Jim Morekis shares the must-see sights and local secrets of Charleston and Savannah, from exploring the French Quarter to kayaking in the Golden Isles. Morekis includes unique trip strategies like Literary Lark?following the life and work of authors Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allen Poe, and John Berendt?and his Kayaker’s Paradise tour. Including expert advice on walking the squares of Savannah’s Historic District and dining on she-crab soup in Beaufort, Moon Charleston & Savannah gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.

Hailing from Savannah, Jim Morekis has a born appreciation for the quirky side of the South. With a writer's eye for observation, an actor's flair for the drama of history, and a taste for barbecue, he takes frequent breaks from his longtime job as a Savannah alt-weekly newspaper editor to travel throughout the southeast. Some of Jim's favorite pastimes include relaxing on Edisto Island, eating shrimp and grits in Charleston, and walking through old cemeteries.

Jim has authored several Moon guidebooks, and despite having extensive experience with regional hotels and B&Bs, he still insists camping at state parks is the best way to go. The University of Georgia graduate considers Charleston his second home and invites you to join him on a pub crawl there.
