The bow parts the Azzurro and the island rises like a cliff-drawn portrait: sheer limestone walls, the blocky silhouettes of the Faraglioni, and the quicksilver chop of the Tyrrhenian. You board at Marina Grande and the boat slips along Capri’s southern face, passing hidden caverns whose light plays like a private show. The Blue Grotto waits in shadow and flash—when conditions allow, sunlight filters through an underwater entrance and the cave glows as if lit from below.
