Lovely Island, easy to get to from the Italian mainland.
Reviewed By Robrooster
When planning our Italian holiday, a native Italian family friend recommended this place to visit. And it didn't disappoint. You need to catch a ferry from the mainland (in Formia or Anzio) to the Island and once you're there, everything is easily accessible by foot. There are plenty of bakeries, cafes, restaurants, shops and activities to keep you busy day and night, for all ages. A must do, and one of our best days there, is to hire a self drive boat and explore the Island, stopping at numerous locations along the way for a swim in some of the cleanest and clearest water I have seen. Simply superb. We used Asterix boat hire located along the main beach area who were well priced and have good advice on where the best spots were. Boat comes with a cooler and ice for your food and drinks. On your return, be sure to relax at one of the many bars along the water that offer apperitives and snacks while enjoying the beautiful sunset. A visit to this island will not disappoint.
