Hidden coves and Hidden Coves and Corners of Paradise
Ponza is renowned for its secluded coves, true corners of paradise where nature displays its full beauty. The crystal-clear waters range from turquoise to deep blue, inviting everyone to dive in and let the sea cradle them.
Among the most beloved beaches are the enchanting Chiaia di Luna, surrounded by tall white cliffs that protect it from the wind; the picturesque Cala Feola, with its natural pools carved into the rock, perfect for swimming and relaxing; and the lively Baia del Frontone, famous for its golden sand and beach bars that animate summer days.
These coves, accessible only by sea or along scenic trails, make Ponza a magical place—perfect for those seeking authentic contact with nature and an escape from mass tourism.

Ponza is a Mediterranean gem where cuisine blends with seafaring tradition.
The fresh flavors of the sea combine with the simplicity of local ingredients, creating authentic and delicious dishes.
Small trattorias by the harbor offer specialties like fresh fish, seafood soups, and the traditional tiella ponzese—a savory pie filled with octopus (or in some variations, other seafood or fish), potatoes, and cherry tomatoes, all encased in a bread dough crust—accompanied by the island’s white wines.
A cuisine that tells the story and passion of a place that captures both the heart and the palate.
