Ponza, Italy
Rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Italy, Ponza is an island sculpted from the ridges of underwater mountains, crested with winding roads that connect small villages with swimmable bays and natural grottoes. Fresh seafood pulled from the surrounding waters makes it to the tables of the harbor’s trattorias for lunch, and small boutiques tempt with pastel linens and bottles of white wine made of grapes harvested from the island’s terraced vineyards.
