Gavi Island

Latest page update: 3 August 2025

By: Dion Protani

Gavi is a private island, located just 120 metres from Ponza's north western tip. The tiny islet measures 0.14 km² and rises to a maximum height of 100 metres above sea level.

Without any permanent inhabitants or a port, it attracts few visitors but the shallow waters close to its shore make for good swimming and snorkelling. The only way to reach the island is by renting a boat in Ponza Port which is around half an hour away.
