You step onto a low-slung launch at Marina Grande as the harbor breathes salt and diesel. The island slides away in a patchwork of white villas and vertical cliffs; the sea pulls at the hull, daring you toward grottos whose colors change with each angle of sun. The captain eases the boat along the limestone rim, and the Faraglioni rise like time-worn sentries while coves open like pockets of turquoise.
