Brucoli - untouched fishing village

Brucoli is a typical fishing village at the east coast, 15 km from Vaccarizzo and 25 km from Catania. You find limestone cliffs alternating with grottos, bays and small beaches.

Located directly at the seaside, there are lots of restaurants and bars. Even younger Italians like to stop by, especially at the weekends. The former fishing village has developed into a seaside and a snorkelling resort for tourists.

The centre, nevertheless, has preserved its authenticity. It is marked by small fishermen's houses, many of them quite well restored and meanwhile rented out as tourist accommodations or harbouring restaurants typical of the region.

At the harbour, the small fishing boats rocking to and fro are still used for daily fishing by their local owners.

From here, there are also maritime connections between Sicily and the mainland.

The 15th century fortress, which used to provide shelter from pirates, is worth visiting.

It is the lively atmosphere which makes for the flair at Brucoli, especially in the evenings.
