The Pontine Islands are the closest serious cruising ground to Rome — and surprisingly underused by international charters. Ponza is the lively centre, with its painted harbour town and a series of bays carved out of volcanic rock; Palmarola is the wilder neighbour, often anchored in for swimming and lunch. Sea caves, secluded beaches, and authentic island restaurants make every day vary in pace.
