PONZA - VENTOTENE - PALMAROLA

PIANTONI YACHT CHARTERS - PONTINE ISLANDS

The Pontine islands (Isole Pontine) are a pretty archipelago off the Italian coast south of Rome. With a long history, attested by Roman ruins and cave-tombs, the islands are nevertheless little-known to international tourists. With lots of authentic Italian atmosphere, great views and a range of activities, this is an ideal destination for getting off the beaten track.
