Li Galli are three small islands between Positano and Capri — Gallo Lungo, La Castelluccia and La Rotonda. Homer’s Sirens were said to sing from here, and in the 1980s they belonged to the dancer Rudolf Nureyev.

The islands are private and you cannot land, which is exactly why the sea around them stays so clear. You anchor in front of them for a swim, then continue to Positano and its houses climbing the cliff, the view everyone wants from the water.
