Ferries to Ponza All the ferry companies on Mr Ferry!

Ponza is the main island of the Pontine Archipelago, located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Lazio and includes the islands of Palmarola, Zannone, Gavi, Ventotene and the island of Santo Stefano.

There are numerous historical and archaeological sites that date back to Roman times: the villas, the cisterns, the aqueduct and its tunnels, as well as the necropolis of Guarini and Bagno Vecchio, which are well worth a visit. The island later experienced various occupations and Turkish and Saracen raids, and in modern times it has taken in many political prisoners instead.

Today Ponza is a small natural paradise: its rugged coastline with beautiful bays and its crystal clear and pristine water make it an ideal destination for lovers of sea and tranquility. The most characteristic places include the "Grotte di Pilato" and the Faraglioni, as well as the beaches of Cala Fonte, Chiaia di Luna, Spiaggia delle Felci and Spiaggia di Lucia Rosa with their wonderful natural pools. In summer, the island shows its most fascinating side, with its patronage festivals, historical parades, the lively streets of the center, bars and typical restaurants by the sea that attract hundreds of visitors.
