A ferry cuts a clean line across the Gulf of Naples as Mount Vesuvius broods on the horizon; salt-slick air and gull calls set the rhythm of the day. Arriving at Marina Grande, travelers trade the hum of the mainland for Capri’s stepped lanes and sun-baked stone. The island doesn’t wait — cliffs lean in, waves push at the stacks, and the Faraglioni rise like weathered monoliths demanding attention.
