Archeo Experience

Plunge into history and visit the underwater natural museum

The seabeds around Ustica are scattered with archaeological remains, but not all are easy to identify as they are mostly covered by beds of Posidonia oceanica and other sea plants, or hidden under thick, crusty layers of fossils. Nevertheless, you can appreciate its treasures throughout the settled underwater archaeological routes where remains found in situ are marked with explanatory labels.

If you're fond of underwater archaeology and curious about the past history of the island, join our Archaeological Experience Program including:

• One Guided Dive at Punta Cavazzi - the first archaeological underwater itinerary in the world - divided between 10 and 24 meters deep in a stretch of suggestive seabed, the finds are mostly anchors of Roman and Byzantine times.

• A guided land tour at the Prehistoric Village at Faraglioni, The most significant archaeological context of the island of Ustica which, thanks to its excellent state of preservation and the enormous amount of material  returned, constitutes a significant and complete example of the Middle  Bronze Age settlement (1400 -1200 BC), witnessing a moment of particular development and intense population of the island.
