If you are willing to experience a holiday immersed in the beautiful Sicilian nature, our advice is to leave your car in the city. Ustica can easily be visited by foot, bike (you can rent electric or traditional bicycles), or for the less active ones, by scooter (rented upon arrival in the port).
Those who can’t avoid using their car or have constraints, it is useful to know that Ustica is connected to Palermo by a daily car ferry. However, restrictions apply during certain periods of the year.
For those planning to tour Sicily or Italy by train, Ustica will be in easy reach via numerous local buses connecting Palermo’s Central Station to the port.
If you desire more comfort or have special needs, Orca Diving Ustica can provide private transfers.
