9Ponza – The Roman Riviera’s Secret Escape
A favorite summer hideaway for Romans, Ponza is one of the Pontine Islands, located halfway between Rome and Naples. It’s a dazzling blend of rugged cliffs, cobalt-blue waters, and secret coves accessible only by boat.
You’ll find whitewashed houses lining the harbor, turquoise grottoes that rival Capri’s, and seafood restaurants where time stands still. Hike the island’s scenic trails, rent a boat to explore the caves of Pilate, or simply enjoy aperitivo by the water. Ponza offers Mediterranean beauty with a wild, untamed edge.
