Ponza - No Need for Local Attractions, the Attraction is Already Here
Travelers seek out Ponza the most out of the other Pontine Islands for its stunning hilly landscape, and welcoming blue waters. Like many other small town treasures of the world, they eventually become found and draw in more visitors every year. Ponza is the largest archipelago between Rome and Naples, right off the Italian coast. It’s been told that the archipelago’s loyal return visitors describe it to be like Capri, however lower-key and less expensive. Celebrities typically travel to the location during holidays to stay off the radar, and many younger Roman citizens in the season of summer. The busiest seasons for this lovely destination are during the Italian holidays in late July and August.
Location: The Largest of the Pontine Islands Archipelago
Many travelers take their time through the Pontine Islands usually by boat. As there aren’t many tourist sites or historical monuments in town, people mainly travel for its picturesque landscape, shorelines, and overall atmosphere. If you are looking for a low-key vacation, this is the place to explore. Basic accommodations let visitors focus in on the natural spoils of the area. Imagine just Mother Nature’s songs surrounding you, or a day along the calm shores of Chiaia di Luna with the sounds of the gentle waves echoing off the spectacular cliffs above.

Business: Locals and Tourists Mutually Benefit
The town is primarily a fishing and boating port, where many tourists dock and explore the Pontine Islands. Tourism is the main contributor to the economy of the town, along with boatbuilding and boat repair. Thankfully, the most beautiful part of the island in the north closed down the mines in operation back in 1975. Rare wildlife and flora were destroyed for the short amount of time during the mining, but are now thriving. Locals of the town raise small game, such as rabbits and chickens, for food.
Culture: Simple and Unspoiled
The culture of Ponza is quite simple. The residents are islanders who enjoy the simplicity of waking up to beautiful nature, and preservation of such things. They create their own history every day, and do not overdo what they have been given to work with on this archipelago. Having successfully shut down a mining project that took place in the most beautiful part of the island because of its destruction of the nature in the area, the locals today keep that same attitude and preserve their land the best they can.
Activities: Soak Up the Sun and Explore the Island
Aside from the lovely landscape of the island, visitors also boat around to the other Pontine Islands, including that of the nature reserve of Zannone. Visitors can take time to explore the underwater wrecks, lay out on the shore for sun and sand, ruins to sightsee, and even check out mule-tracks to wander. Where Chiaia di Luna’s famous crescent shaped beach is one end of the island, Le Forna and the Piscine Naturali hold calming natural pools, which are ideal for bathing and soaking up the sun’s rays.
