Ponza
The island of Ponza, a hidden jewel in the Tyrrhenian Sea, offers a glimpse into the unspoiled beauty of Italy’s Pontine Islands against a backdrop that feels worlds away from the mainland. Ponza is home to ancient Roman ruins, picturesque harbours, and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere untouched by mass tourism. The island’s dramatic coastline, sculpted by volcanic formations, is best experienced via a yacht charter, offering direct access to secluded coves, sea caves, and the crystal-clear waters of Chiaia di Luna Beach. The island’s charming town, with its pastel-coloured buildings and lively piazzas, is the perfect setting for leisurely walks and sampling local specialities such as freshly caught seafood and the region’s celebrated wines. Just a short cruise away, the neighbouring islands of Palmarola and Ventotene offer further opportunities for discovery, from pristine diving spots to historic sites, making Ponza the ideal destination for an extended yacht charter to Rome, Naples or further.
