You push off from Sorrento as the town's cliffs slide aft and the sea opens cold and electric. The little boat hums, twelve passengers spread along the rail, eyes trained toward Capri where white limestone cliffs and the jagged Faraglioni rise like a sudden island cathedral.

Bring swimwear and towel

Blue Grotto entry not guaranteed
Entry depends on sea conditions and queues; bring patience and some cash for the separate rowboat/entrance fee if permitted.
