Ponza, Palmarola et Ventotene — des oasis sauvages du Latium.
Overview
Les îles Pontines sont les destinations les moins connues et les plus surprenantes de la Tyrrhénienne. Les maisons colorées de Ponza descendent vers le port comme un amphithéâtre grec : Chiaia di Luna et la Piscina Naturale comptent parmi les plus belles criques de Méditerranée. Palmarola est déserte, la « Lampedusa du nord ». Ventotene, autrefois lieu de relégation, est aujourd'hui une réserve marine protégée.
Where to dine
Ponza's most storied address — lobster, scorpionfish, linguine all'astice. Terrace on the water.
Authentic Pontine cooking — octopus alla ponzese, octopus salad, fried paranza.
Two tables on the Roman island's port — the freshest fish, local Moscato di Ventotene.
Family cooking; book weeks ahead in August — the stuff of legend.
Aperitivo on the mole watching the ferries — Pontine lemon granita and bruschette.
What to do
A natural sea pool formed by volcanic rock — sheltered snorkelling and swimming.
The island's loveliest cove — white calcarenite and emerald-green water.
An uninhabited island rated among Europe's ten most beautiful — boat only, no facilities.
A Roman necropolis cut into the tufa — Augustan era, original Latin inscriptions.
An 800m moonlit cliff reachable only by sea — archaeology and wild nature.
