Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. An island: Laziomar ferries and hydrofoils sail from Anzio, Formia and Terracina (roughly 70 minutes to 2.5 hours by service); the ports connect to Rome by rail at Anzio and Formia.
Tickets · Laziomar + island buses
The pastel port amphitheatre is walked; the island's coves are reached by the little bus, scooters or, best, rented boats
Ferry tickets online or at the port offices; summer crossings sell out, book ahead.
Show your ticket when boarding.
On foot
- ·Chiaia di Luna's cliff backed crescent and the Punta Incenso end of the island book end the walking; much of the coast is really a boat matter
Taxis and driving
- ·Leave the car at the mainland port garages; on the island, wheels mean scooters and the single bus line
Official sites: Laziomar (Pontine islands ferries)
