The Bay of Naples' smallest island got its close-up as Italy's Capital of Culture in 2022 — and in The Talented Mr Ripley before that — yet stays defiantly local.

Stay near the harbour, eat lemon salad and just-landed anchovies, and visit in May before the Neapolitan summer crowd arrives by hydrofoil.
