Cave of the Boats in Ustica
Ustica (PA)
The Grotta delle Barche di Ustica is located in the southern part of the island after the Grotta della Pastizza and the "Pagliaro", a characteristic little house inserted inside a cavity that was originally part of the same complex as the Grotta delle Barche.
La cave owes its name to the fact that for about a century and a half it was used as a shelter for boats during the winter.
It is a large cavern, which however represents only a small part of the original complex which must have been much larger .
Inside the cave there is a small beach and the waters are clear, crystalline and take on iridescent colors from green to blue.
