Ponza Island, in Italy, differently from Capri island or the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily, is less known and less touristic and this is one the best things about this place. When you visit it you will feel a refreshingly local charm and laid-back attitude. Ponza introduces herself with jewel-toned waters, dramatic landscapes and plenty of nautical activities to boot, the islands are a perfect place to indulge your summer daydreams..
Ponza is the largest island of the Pontine’s archipelago and it has a volcanic origin. Here you can find many archaeological ruins from the Etruscan and Roman ages merged with a lively atmosphere and plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy after spending a day out on the water. The most famous and gorgeous beach is Chiaia di Luna with its particolare crescent-shaped and it cans be enjoyed only arriving from the sea.
