The island of Palmarola is famous for its dazzling azure water, making it one of Italy's best locations for snorkelling or diving.
There are no permanent residents on the island and the only way to reach it is privately. If you're lucky enough to have your own boat you can just mosey across but if not, there are dozens of places where you can rent a boat in Ponza which is around half an hour away depending on how fast you go across the open sea. |

Perhaps the best way to see Palmarola is via one of the organised excursions; this way you don't have to worry about driving the boat or putting the anchor down while you go for a swim.
One of the curiosities of taking a boat to Palmarola is that you'll see little boats making their way around selling ice-creams and other snacks. They'll come across to your boat and you can see what they have to offer. This is hugely beneficial because Palmarola isn't blessed with any permanent restaurants. This again makes the private excursions attractive as they usually offer some kind of meal on-board as part of the package.
