The Black Rocky Slopes of an Ancient Extinct Volcano

The island of Ustica is one of the six protected marine reserves in Sicily for its marvellous beaches. The black rocky landscape you will find everywhere is due to the fact that Ustica is actually the top of a huge extinct submarine volcano - so don't forget to bring your jelly shoes when you visit!
