About this experience

Artisan Markets in Cala Feola is a seasonal open-air market held along the waterfront of Cala Feola bay on Ponza's western coast. The market features local craftspeople selling handmade ceramics, woven baskets, and natural cosmetics, alongside small food stalls with Ponza-style snacks. It operates on select weekday mornings from late June to early September, weather permitting.

What to expect

Market stalls are set up from 9:00 to 13:00 on Tuesday and Friday mornings, with roughly 15 vendors present each session.
Vendors demonstrate traditional techniques, including hand-painting of majolica tiles and weaving of palm-leaf baskets, at their stalls.
Shoppers can sample and buy local products such as capers in sea salt, lemon liqueur, and freshly fried anchovy fritters from the food section.
The market is laid out along the pedestrian path between the Cala Feola beach entrance and the small chapel, so visitors can browse without stairs.
Cash is the only accepted payment method at most stalls, and prices range from 5 euros for small ceramics to 40 euros for larger woven pieces.
The market suits travellers seeking handmade souvenirs rather than mass-produced items, and it is accessible to wheelchair users on the flat promenade.
