l GO WITH THE FLOW Naples and Sorrento are jumping- off points for the islands of Capri, Procida and Ischia, all of which should be considered for longer visits. Capri is still rather glamorous and offers good shopping; Ischia has some wonderful spas thanks to its thermal waters, and Procida is a pretty and peaceful little island where many of its inhabitants still make their living from fishing. Ferries and high-speed hydrofoils service all the islands regularly during the summer until the end of September.

Clients can either drive the route, or enjoy a day floating around the coast, stopping off in a quiet bay for lunch, a swim and a sunbathe. TW
