More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a low-slung motorboat as the Amalfi light sharpens the cliff faces, the engine purring and the sea already daring you to jump in. The island of Capri opens like an island of cliffs and caves: limestone cliffs scarred by waves, tall Faraglioni stacks rising from deep blue water, and grotto mouths that flash a supernatural color when the light hits just right.
