PONZA ISLAND EXCURSION
Ponza island excursion, a day trip from Rome.
Our boat excursion covers all the most iconic and beautiful locations the islands have to offer, from ancient Roman hand-carved cisterns to naturally formed arches. As we gently cruise the shoreline, we will listen to the story of Domitilla, exiled to the islands in complete solitude and how the islands were repopulated in the 1700s by inhabitants of Ischia near Capri. Several stops will allow you to take a swim in the inviting crystal waters and a hot plate of pasta will be served as your lunch onboard. If you’re lucky enough, a pod of dolphins might pay you a visit!
