You step off the jetfoil with salt in the air and a steep road climbing from the harbor — Capri announces itself with the sharp scent of Mediterranean herbs and the constant lapping of turquoise water. The island moves in contrasts: sunlit limestone cliffs, sudden shaded alleys, and the uncluttered blue of the Faraglioni rising like stone fingers from the sea.
