The day opens at the harbor on the Sorrento coast, salt and citrus in the air as a skipper lines up the bow for departure. The boat slips past Marina Grande and the ragged cliffs where Roman villas cling to the rock, then sweeps around Capri so visitors first meet it by sea—the Faraglioni rising like stone markers against the bright blue.
