Cruises from Ponza

Ponza is a port on an island of the same name and is the largest of the Italian Pontine Islands located in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It lies 100 km west of Naples. The island is shaped like an irregular crescent 8 km long. It was first colonised by the Etruscans in times when it was covered by giant trees. Now the landscape is covered by mostly unkept terraces, some covered with tiny vineyards, wild herbs and flowers. Secluded beaches and grottos make the island a popular tourist destination.
