Yes: to visit the remains of the Villa Domiziaon the island of Giannutriyou must go on a guided tour; the archaeological site cannot be visited freely. The guide also helps you understand what remains of this vast Roman villa, whose remains are spread over several hectares. You can book an excursion that includes the tour, rather than looking for a guide once there.
In practice, boats generally leave from Porto Santo Stefano and the crossing takes about 1 hour each way. Plan for a trip taking up a good part of the day: some excursions list about 7 hours in total, crossings included. Departure days and times vary depending on the season and the organizer; check them before booking, as well as what is included in the price. On the island, getting around is done on foot: bring suitable shoes and water. If you only want to see the villa, the guided tour is therefore essential; if you also want to enjoy the trails or the coves, check how much free time the excursion allows after the tour.
