You push off from Sorrento with the sun low and the boat’s wooden hull cutting the Tyrrhenian calm. The skipper trims the knot, the engine ticks into a steady hum, and Capri rises ahead — a cliff-faced island of white limestone, green terraces and the vertical silhouettes of the Faraglioni. Sea spray dares you to come closer; the grottoes and arches seem to breathe with each swell.
