Brucoli: is a typical fishing village on the Sicilian east coast, 15 km from Vaccarizzo and 25 km from Catania. You find
limestone cliffs alternating with grottos, bays, and small beaches. Right at the seaside, there are lots of restaurants
and bars. The former fishing village has developed into a seaside and a snorkelling resort for tourists. The city centre,
nevertheless, has preserved its authenticity. It is marked by small fishermen’s houses, many well restored and
meanwhile rented out as tourist accommodations or harbouring restaurants typical of the region. The small fishing
boats you see rocking to and from at the harbour are still used for daily fishing today. For maritime connections
between Sicily and the mainland you need not go far, only to Brucoli harbour, from where boats depart for the
mainland. The 15th century fortress, built as a means of protection against pirate attacks, is worth a closer look.
