More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low bow of the boat parts the Mediterranean at dawn, and Capri rises like a sculpted island—white cliffs, twin Faraglioni spires, and caves that catch the light. The sea dares you to lean over the rail, to watch schools of silvery fish scatter beneath a surface that alternates between glass and pulse. Your captain threads the shoreline: Blue Grotto’s narrow mouth, the Green Cave’s emerald glow, the White Cave’s chalky walls, and a swim stop under the Faraglioni where the current seems to nudge you outward.
