If you book ahead online you can usually get good fares between Roma and Venice. Check both Italo and Trenitalia. The fast regionale between Rome and Formia or Roma and Anzio where the ferries leave from is a fixed price.

It looks like we will be taking the train from Rome to Ponza (or to the Ferry) and then from Rome to Venice. Is it best to purchase tickets individually online or is it best, money wise to purchase a rail pass.

We will be visiting Sperlonga in August and we hope to do a day trip from Terracina (looks like the fast ferry leaves at 8:40am and comes back again right after 6pm). A few questions for you: do you happen to know if there is parking in terracina near the ferry? Do you think we can get ferry tickets same day or should we book in advance? And last Q: we’d like to find a charter boat that does a tour around Ponza (and maybe some other islands). Most of the web sites for these charters are in italian and when I email they never respond. Do you think we can arrive and find an English-speaking captain the day of by perusing the docks? Or is this kind of excursion something that we should try to pre-book?Jen Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970606443593657636.post-75622896595346465972018-06-29T11:46:12.075+02:002018-06-29T11:46:12.075+02:00Hi Gillian, a terrific blog thank you for sharing ...Hi Gillian, a terrific blog thank you for sharing your knowledge! We are travelling to Ponza next week and catching the earliest train I can find online Rome to Anzio which arrives Anzio at 7:50am and we catch the ferry at 8:45am. I now notice on our ferry ticket latest check in is 60 min before departure. I am banking on the train running to time, but my question is do you think we have ample time to make the ferry are they strict with latest checkin being 60 min? and are taxis easily accessible at Anzio train station?

But I've come to a stop now: I'm trying to book ferry tickets from Formia to Ponza, but can't seem to find any booking form on Laziomars website, even though they mention that you can buy tickets online. I have no knowledge of Italian, so I'm already quite challenged there :) Do you know if it's possible to buy tickets online or should I do it in person? We're not traveling until July, so maybe tickets just aren't available yet, but being it high season, I don't want to miss out. <br /><br />Hopefully you can help :)Malene Kjaerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187150873629532685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970606443593657636.post-24976288564410009772017-04-07T14:55:16.784+02:002017-04-07T14:55:16.784+02:00Thank you!
