Ustica Small Marina

Ustica's small marina is a laid-back gem tucked into this volcanic island off the Palermo coast, with space for around 6 boats — so it's intimate by nature and fills up fast. The island itself is the draw: a tight-knit little town, solid restaurants, and waters so clear Ustica is recognized as one of Italy's top marine reserves. It's a genuine off-the-beaten-track stop that feels a world away from the Sicilian mainland.
