Punta del Pertuso

Drop anchor off Punta del Pertuso, the dramatic cliff that guards the entrance to Ventotene's ancient Roman port. The rock here is naturally perforated — 'pertuso' means hole in local dialect — giving the headland its name and a genuinely striking look up close. It's a fascinating spot to drift and take in the island's layered history, with the old Porto Romano carved directly into the volcanic rock just around the corner.
