Recommended Reading & Guides to Prepare for Your Trip to Sicily

General travel guides:

• Lonely Planet – Sicily: very comprehensive, ideal for an overview of major cities (Catania, Siracusa, Taormina) and coastal areas near Brucoli.
• Touring Club Italiano – Sicily: extremely detailed from a historical and cultural perspective, perfect for travelers interested in history, art, and local traditions.
• Routard – Sicily (in French, if preferred): more informal, with many practical tips and off-the-beaten-path recommendations.

Thematic guides on Catania and surrounding areas:

• Small local guides on Catania and Mount Etna, often available at the airport or in bookstores in Catania, useful for planning a potential excursion to Mount Etna.
• Guides on Siracusa and the Val di Noto, ideal for organizing day trips from Brucoli to archaeological sites and Baroque towns.

Books to get into the Sicilian atmosphere:

• The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa: a great classic to understand the historical and aristocratic soul of Sicily.
• The Inspector Montalbano novels by Andrea Camilleri: perfect for capturing the daily rhythm, language, and irony of Sicily, with many coastal settings similar to those you will visit.
• Sicilian Cuisine (various editions): collections of traditional Sicilian recipes, useful to familiarize yourselves with the local dishes you will find in Brucoli, Catania, and Siracusa.

As your travel agent, I recommend bringing along a practical guide (Lonely Planet or Touring Club) to consult on-site, as well as one of the suggested novels to enjoy during relaxing moments at the hotel or on the beach. If you wish, I can also help you create a customized day-by-day itinerary with excursions from Brucoli to Catania, Siracusa, and, if of interest, a full day on Mount Etna.
