Ustica is a little island , I found by mistake on Google, but I am so happy I went. Its so beautiful so peaceful, full of so many charters. I felt safe there even though English is not use hardly anywhere. You must go

We loved Ustica. It was beautiful and peaceful, the water was so clean and the locals were friendly. Would recommend doing a boat trip round the island to see the caves and hiring electric bikes to explore - the roads were very quiet. For so small a place there was also quite a good selection of little bars and restaurants. Would definitely recommend taking rock shoes though - while there are loads of fantastic places to swim, they're mainly rocky.

We went to Ustica, familly of five adults as we heard it was a great place for diving. We chose the Orca Dive club, just near the port. Really good, competent, friendly - all you want from a dive club. Utica itself is really beautiful, even though there are too many cars driving around. You can dive, hike, swim, snorkel. Don't forget your water shoes. One dark sand little beach, if not its rocky. Beautiful clear water and a lot to see. Depending on the days we had to dodge jelly fish but that really depends on the weather. Buses run every 45 mins, going around the island. So you can just get off where you want. Tickets are 1.50€ at the tobacco store, valid 90 mins. If you buy the ticket in the bus it's 2€ The views are fantastic and depending where you stay really peaceful. Tons of restaturants but difficult to get a seat, if you did not reserve in advance. 2 main supermarkets - everything is at walking distance and not over priced. We found Albergo Ariston the best restaurant. The food is just delicious and the staff really friendly. They even went to the local butchers and got some chicken breast for us, as it was not on the menu. Really wonderful place and has a beautiful view on the port/sea. Ustica was perfect for us but people looking for sandy beaches should stay away and in our opinion Ustica is not ideal for families with small children.

We were there in August when it is very hot. The sea is glorious, and we were glad to swim early and late in the day- but mid-day we just needed to stay in. We found some good food and enjoyed walking around. It's a remote and charming island and things are a bit more expensive because it's hard to get to Ustica.
