Ponza 40 54N 12 59E

Came here from Capri to play in the water but weather was lousy so we decided to bail and go to Rome instead.
-----------
The island is famed for its Blue Grottos, which were created by the Etruscans. It has the Serpents Grotto and the Roman Gallery which is a Roman tunnel that connects the town of Ponza to the large sandy beach called Chiaia di Luna on its west side. There are Egyptian, Canaanite, Greek, and Phoenician Necropoli ruins at the middle of the island. It has several small villages,among them are Commune di Ponza, Santa Maria and Le Forna. Ponza is often confused with nearby islands like Ischia and Capri, except Ponza has no active volcanism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponza
