Our journey among the Pontine islands continues with Palmarola. On the islands of Ponza and Ventotene travelers can take pleasure in the company of the islanders whilst enjoying their typical local wines, and the beauty of colorful houses, fields and gardens surrounded by the sea. However, imagine the same natural beauty without crowds or many other tourists where the most beautiful landscapes are enjoyed by sailing around and between the islands.

Here there aren’t ports or attractive, colorful houses found at Ponza and Ventotene. Walkers and nature lovers can enjoy the wonderful scenery of cliffs and fields with wild flowers and herbs, rocks and prickly Mediterranean cactuses surrounded only by crystal clear marine waters and blue sky.
