SUMMER Sea-Tango

Holiday dedicated to Tango, the sun, the sea, the Italian food and joy of living...

From 15 to 22 July 2006

Brucoli is a seaside resort in the province of Siracusa, located a few kilometres away from Augusta.

The presence of a harbour area contributed to the resort’s growth over the centuries. In the 15th century, a castle was built to defend it.

The Pantagia creek flowing nearby makes the village even more interesting. Along the last extent of its course the traces of settlements dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze ages have been brought to light….

A tour includes the archaeological site of Megara Hyblaea and the sea resort of Brucoli; the latter being a lovely fishing village offering several natural attractions.
