We sailed to Ustica and docked in the port. No water or power but totally acceptable due to the time of year. If you stay at the marina prepare to climb as it appears this was nothing but uphill. This is one of the charms of the island. The people were very welcoming and the food was great. The only...

We went to Ustica with my friends for the day we stayed in Palermo for a week but the day we spent in Ustica was definitely the best! The sea was amazing and we had some great food. The island is quite small so it's quite easy to get around, you can also rent a scooter which is great fun!
