Expedition Overview

Join us for a journey to Ponza, Italy's secret island paradise, hidden just off the Roman coast. This 9-day expedition combines the eternal city of Rome with the pristine beauty of an island that Italians have kept to themselves for generations.

Begin in Rome, where we'll explore hidden corners and authentic neighborhoods before traveling to Ponza, a Mediterranean jewel with colorful harbors, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic cliffs. Here, you'll experience the true dolce vita: swimming in secluded coves, dining on fresh seafood caught that morning, and connecting with local traditions that have remained unchanged for centuries.

With its perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and coastal beauty, this expedition offers an authentic Italian experience far from the tourist crowds. You'll return home with not just photographs, but with recipes, stories, and memories of an Italy few travelers ever discover.
