The morning hydrofoil cuts through the Tyrrhenian like a practiced messenger, depositing you at Marina Grande where pastel villas lean toward the sea and scooters thread narrow lanes. From this port, the island opens in two distinct moods: the polished piazzas and designer boutiques of Capri, and the quieter terraces and churches of Anacapri.
