Ponza, with its magical charm, is one of the most fascinating pearls of the Mediterranean. This wonderful island offers a multitude of bays and coves, with transparent seabeds that enhance its crystalline blue sea. Located among the Pontine Islands, Ponza is the most accessible from the Lazio coast, reachable in a few hours. The island offers a variety of experiences, from walks through its picturesque alleys, with its craft shops and welcoming venues, to the discovery of its enchanting bays. Towards the east, you cannot miss the beauty of the Frontone harbor (close to the port), Cala Inferno, the Arco Naturale and Punta Incenso. Towards the west, however, you will find the spectacular Chiaia di Luna, Cala dell’Acqua, Cala Feola and its natural pools. Ponza is a dream destination for those who want an unforgettable holiday between nature and culture.
Ventotene, one of the most fascinating islands of the Pontine archipelago, extends over less than 2 square kilometers and is located exactly halfway between the islands of Ponza and Ischia. This volcanic island, far from mass tourism, owes its name to the constant wind that characterizes it. An unmissable stop is a visit to the Roman port, whose basin is dug into the tuff rock. It is precisely here that during the fascist period, illustrious figures such as Sandro Pertini drafted the famous Ventotene Manifesto, which already at the time theorized the dream of a United States of Europe and is today considered one of the founding documents of the European Union. Ventotene, among the Pontine Islands, offers a perfect combination of history and natural beauty to explore.
Palmarola, the wild pearl of the Pontine Islands, stands out for its lush vegetation and an extraordinary sea. With few houses, the absence of a port and the presence of only one restaurant, this island represents an oasis of tranquility in which time expands and seems to stop. The name of the island probably derives from the presence of the dwarf palm, the only palm species that grows spontaneously in Italy. The coasts of Palmarola are spectacularly jagged and at the same time fascinating. The area known as the “Cathedral” is its most famous natural attraction, characterized by caves that create pointed arches, giving the illusion of a cathedral facade sculpted by nature itself. Discover this pristine natural wonder and enjoy an escape from everyday stress.
