Palmarola Island

Palmarola is the westernmost of the Ponza Islands. Palmarola is 60 miles from the airport of Fimucino International Airport (Rome) and 35 miles from the town of Nettuno, where you can rent a charter yacht for a trip to the Ponza Islands. Palmarola is a rocky, mostly uninhabited island. Less than 5 miles away to the east-south-east is the largest island in the archipelago, Ponza Island.

Around Palmarola scattered a lot of small islets and rocks, which, on the one hand complicate yachtsmen navigation off the coast of the island, and on the other - create a lot of spots for anchorage of yachts. The shores of Palmarola are rocky and precipitous with many beautiful grottoes that can be reached by dinghy.

The famous French explorer and oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau considered Palmarola the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea.
