Enjoy a delightful picnic-style meal as you soak up the sun and sea—this is island living at its absolute best.</p><h2>Free Time at Ponza’s Port &amp; Return to Rome</h2><p>Back on solid ground, the next hour’s yours to unwind and explore Ponza’s Port independently. Savor a creamy gelato, sip a refreshing spritz while enjoying the unhurried pace of the island, and tuck into boutique shops to find your perfect keepsake.
