More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the quay in Naples and the harbor opens like a map—white wakes cutting toward two islands that have long tested the sea's patience. The boat eases away from the city; the Tyrrhenian pushes and props you forward. Sun slides over a low volcanic skyline as the captain points out the first headland and the guide sketches the plan: swim stops, a paddleboard glide, then lunch and aperitivo while the islands pass close enough to count chimneys.
