13 Beautiful Italian Islands — From Popular Hot Spots to Underrated Gems

"It takes some effort to get to Ponza: It's a roughly 90-minute ferry ride from a handful of mainland ports, and that distance has allowed the largest of the Pontine Islands to retain an air of exclusivity, even if it's been largely discovered by in-the-know Italians. Ponza is a hush-hush retreat for Italy's well-heeled crowd, who content themselves with casual vacation rentals instead of five-star resorts, alfresco dining on fried seafood instead of Michelin-starred creations, and beach bars rather than VIP clubs. For everyone else, it certainly makes for fun people-watching. The sea reigns supreme here, and a few relatively large (by Ponza standards) beaches become packed in July and August. If being elbow to elbow on the sand isn't your style, consider a shoulder season trip, when the daily routines of this otherwise quiet fishing island are easier to observe and appreciate." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Splendid boat tour around the island of Ponza. Strongly recommended to do this trip. Starting daily from Anzio.

Ponza is a beautiful kept island with beautiful beaches . Some beaches are only good for people that enjoy swimming off rocks . The main beach Frontone is really nice to spend the day on the beach. The water is crystal clear . There are 2 lidos that charge from 30 to 45 euro for an umbrella & 2 sun lounges. The island is expensive but I suppose that’s what happens when you’re on an island due to transport of produce and water . To get around the island there is a local bus service but but your ticket beforehand for the bus , it’s cheap 2-3 euros return to other beaches Well worth going to the island we left from the port of Terracino

A very beautiful tourist place, I strongly recommend visiting Ponza, it is an island known for various activities that everyone can do while having fun. I also advise you to come with friends or relatives for more fun and especially pay attention to the heat in the summer of the place, it's terrible but it does not spoil the beauty of the island.

One of the most beautiful island of Italy I have been too. I can't have enough words to express her beautiful waters and food I ate from different restaurants. It's just magnificent and a must visit island since it's very accessible by the daily ferry either from Anzio or Terracina and other directions depending on where you are coming from. A must visit.

Great island to visit while you are in Rome or Napoli. Rich history and amazing views. Explore the Tyrrhenian Sea. Not many tourists make it here but some do to get away from other tourists in Amalfi and near by areas. The scenery includes sea cliffs and caves, the island’s history, allegedly goes back to the Greek poet Homer. The island in antiquity changed many hands because of the location.

This beautiful island was Jacques Cousteaus favorite and it is easy to see why. The water is gorgeous, the rock formations outstanding and unusual, the landscape gorgeous, the food delicious. I love this place.

My family comes from Ponza and I've visited it almost a dozen times so far in my life, so I can give you a quick rundown of what you can expect. Ponza is a well kept secret. Everyone thinks to go to the Amalfi coast or visit Ischia or Capri, but Italians know to come here for some wonderful sunbathing, sightseeing and restaurant hopping. If you want to visit it, you can reach Ponza by boat via three port towns (Formia, Terracina or Anzio). If you do a quick Google search, you can get times when boats leave during every time of the year and even book a ticket. My father was born on this island. Except for a brief stint in the United States, my father went back to Ponza and remained there for the rest of his life, until his death in May 2017. It's an island rich in natural beauty and with a history that dates back to ancient Roman times. In these recent years, archaeologists have found numerous Roman remains all over the island - villas, aqueducts, cisterns. There's the gorgeous Chiaia di Luna Beach that has only one access point through a tunnel that was dug out by the Romans probably more than two thousand years ago. I've written about Ponza before and I can go on about its history, the people, the wonderful coastline dotted with grottos, cliffs and beaches whose surrounding sea waters migrate from jewel tones of green and turquoise to baby blues and deep sapphire. Summer is when the island really comes alive and some of the restaurants are truly fabulous, featuring not only the traditional Italian kitchen, but also the native cuisine of the island utilizing local ingredients and presenting their own peasant spin on soups, game, seafood and pasta. Italy is not short on places to visit and enjoy, but if you want to see how local Romans and Neapolitans spend their weekends, add Ponza as another spot on your Italian vacation itinerary.
