Sunlight slices across the Bay of Naples and the island of Capri appears like a high, wind-swept stone rising from the sea. The day begins with a hydrofoil crossing and a private wooden boat that threads between cliffs and caverns — the air tastes of salt and lemon. On the water the Faraglioni stacks jut from the blue, daring you to draw closer; under the meter-high mouth of the Blue Grotto, you lie back as the skipper guides the rowboat into a cathedral of electric color.
