The place

Amalfi Coast & Capri

Pastel villages stacked on cliffs, lemon terraces and a deep blue sea — with Capri a boat ride away.

August works here with a little planning.

The light

How the light falls there

The coast faces south, so the villages stand in sun for most of the day and turn pastel and pink at dusk, while the mountains behind them bring the evening shade early. For the sun going down into the sea, Capri’s western side is the place. Midday on white walls and water is very bright.
