Getting around
Arriving
Formia-Gaeta. On the Rome to Naples line (about 75 minutes from either); Laziomar's Ponza and Ventotene ferries sail from the port below the station.
Tickets · Trenitalia + Laziomar
Trenitalia app or machines; island tickets at the port or online.
Validate before boarding.
The mainline-to-islands hinge: Cicero's tomb, the Roman cisterns and the port's fish tables fill the hours before a sailing.
On foot
- ·Castellone's tower quarter and Mola's port district split the town; the Ventotene crossing rewards the earliest boat
Taxis and driving
- ·The Appia's coast stretch links Gaeta and Sperlonga; port lots serve island runs
Official sites: Laziomar (Pontine islands ferries)
