More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ferry and the island breathes around you: the sea slaps the quay, limestone cliffs rise white against a blue that seems almost lit from within, and the sound of Vespas threads through narrow alleys. The day begins with the hairpin Mamma Mia road, where the cliff dares you to look down as the boat cuts toward the Blue Grotto.
