About Ustica
Ustica has a surface area of 8.1km² and has about 1300 inhabitants. Administratively it is part of the province ofPalermoonSicily. The island was created as a result of undersea volcanic eruptions, the last eruption being about 150,000 years ago, and is an open air museum for lovers of vulcanology. The slow and steady impact of the sea on the coast has shaped irregularly inlets, coves and caves. In 1986 the area around the island was proclaimed as a marine reserve (Italian:Area Marina Protetta Isola di Ustica) to protect the rich marine flora and fauna. The rugged coast; the deep, very clear waters; the presence of a large variety of fish all make the island very attractive for diving. That's the main reason that thousands of tourists visit this island every year. The first human settlemen
