Grotte di Pilato
These grottoes named for Pontious Pilate are an exciting first stop for our itinerary.
10 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Chiaia Di Luna
This smooth, moon colored cliff is a favorite stop in Ponza. Your tour leader will describe the romantic legend that gives the cliff its name. If the sea conditions are right, we might even have a swim stop here.
10 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Punta Di Capo Bianco
This unique rock formation is bright white, and thats because it was formed from compressed volcanic ash called. There is even a long grotto that runs straight through the cliff here, and at noon the sun creates spectacular blue reflections in the water, retro-illuminating the grotto. Are you adventurous enough to swim through the grotto end to end? If the sea conditions are right, join your tour leader for this unique experience!

Piscine Naturali
One of the more popular swimming areas reachable by land, the "Natural Pools" are a sight to behold... perfect swimming pools carved into the rocks by nature.
• Admission Ticket Free
Cala Feola
Cala Feola is Ponza's second port, for smaller boats and is the main area of a quieter side of the island.

Cala dell'Acqua
Today Ponza doesn't have its own water source, but long ago, it did and we can see the remnants here in this cove, called "of the water" just for this reason. Note the tiny waterfalls trickling down the cliffside... runoff from what is left of Ponza natural spring. You can also still see the ruins of an ancient Roman aqueduct that once carried the water throughout the island.
15 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Cala Fonte
Another beautiful little cove most easily reached by boat.
• Admission Ticket Free
Cala Cecata
Lots of history near this little cove. We'll float over the spot where an American landing ship tank sunk during a storm in WWII, a popular spot for divers today. Survey the remnants of a mine that once provided jobs to the Ponzan people. The closure of the mine marked a turning point in the history of the island, to an economy based heavily on fishing and tourism.
10 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Cala Felci
Nearing the northernmost tip of Ponza, we'll discover the colorful "Felci Cove". Here, sulphur has colored the cliff walls a bright yellow which contracts with the sparkling emerald of the sea here. This is a common swimming spot, and we'll likely drop anchor here to explore.
30 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Arco Naturale
Ponza is a volcanic island, meaning the rock here is soft and constantly being shaped and moulded by the sea. No better example of this can be seen than here, at the "Natural Arch" -- a giant sea stack which has been hollowed out in the center forming an enormous rock arch, big enough to pass a boat under.
10 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Spiaggia Di Frontone
The last stop before heading back to port is the Beach of "Frontone". This is the most popular beach on the island and even at the end of the day it is crowded with Italian sunbathers.
10 Minutes • Admission Ticket Free
Centro Storico di Ponza
From when we reach the port and disembark, you will be free to explore the historic center of Ponza. Soak in the end of day atmosphere, have a fresh cold aperitivo or head to the shops: there is something for everyone here.
