While there aren't all that many traditional tourist sights or monuments on Ponza, Italy there are things to see and do on this beautiful island. A long time favourite holiday destination of Romans, it has a lot to offer and makes for a wonderful spot to vacation. Just find a holiday rental in Latium and then spend even just a day discovering this gem for yourself.

One of the things that is most attractive about the island is the selection of stunning beaches and there are some seriously great ones to choose from such as Chiaia di Luna, a pretty pale crescent of sand lapped by aquamarine waters and Lucia Rosa with its incredible sunsets.

The whole island is a perfect seaside destination where there are a wealth of diving companies to choose from and a seabed lined with ancient Roman ships, sunken World War II steamship remnants and a diverse wildlife to discover.

Ponza is a lower-key and more affordable island destination that is lesser-known beyond Italy but has been the location of choice of Romans for a very long time now. It attracts the rich and famous and for good reason. Pretty, authentic and swathed in both manmade and natural beauty, it is a perfect holiday destination. Just find a vacation rental in Latium and even take a day trip to this “hidden” gem for yourself but remember that it will be most expensive and religiously flocked to by Romans in July and August. May, June and September are great times of year to visit, when it will be less full of local tourists.

One of the things that is most attractive about Ponza is her selection of stunning beaches and there are some seriously great ones to choose from. The most popular beach is Chiaia di Luna, a pale crescent of sand framed by towering creamy-coloured rocky cliffs and lapped by aquamarine waters.

There are some incredibly famous Italian island getaway destinations. Among them, we have the likes of Elba, Ischia, Capri and the whole of the regions of Sicily and Sardinia.

This is where the Romans vacation and escape to during the hottest summer months and they have been doing so for an incredibly long time now. They've just been keeping stumm about it all this while to keep the beautiful island to themselves.
