Capri

The ferry port at sea level — every visitor lands here, fishing-boat seafood by the harbour, the budget gateway.
The main ferry-port arrival village at sea level — funicular and bus connect up to the towns. Fewer hotels (the smart ones live up the hill), but a working-fishing-boat harbour, sea-level dining, and easier access for the heavy-luggaged or mobility-challenged. The most working-port feel on the island.
