known as the Pontines.
Those in the know (and
near the Tyrrhenian) make
these Islands their spring/
summer weekend destination, and who could
blame them? The transparent waters, the gracious
little ports, and the easy
ferry connections make
these “fishermen’s isles”
an attainable Mediterranean dream: within just a
couple hours from the coast, the Pontine Islands will
be welcoming you with all
their warmth and hospitality.
