Cruises visiting Pozzallo, Sicily (Italy)

On the southernmost point of Sicily, the preserved town of Pozzallo’s lays out its dazzling whiteness along the turquoise seas of the Mediterranean. A favourite stopover for Sicilian sailors in the 15th century, it took the name of the numerous “pozzi” – or “wells” in Italian – which, in those days, were dug into the limestone-clay soil, and used for recharging the ships with fresh water. You will find traces of this bustling past, especially in the Cabrera Tower, a look-out out for ships, especially pirate ships. The nearby coast offers secluded creeks along the cliffs, hewn out by the wind.
