Explore one of the most beautiful islands in the world from two spectacular seaside locations: Taormina and Siracusa. With each day, you’ll experience breathtaking scenery, history, and culture, and enjoy some of the freshest and best cuisine in the world.

CYCLE WORLD HERITAGE

Sicily has the most Italian UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  At 2,700 years old, Siracusa is a layered labyrinth of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Norman, and North African cultures set on the edge of an impossibly turquoise sea.Further down the coast, Taormina climbs the cliffs to unique towns tucked into mountain forests. These cities serve as bases for gorgeous climbs to inland treasures, with cuisine fresh from the sea and forest as reward.

CLIMB EPIC MOUNT ETNA 

Wind through black lava fields  to the snows of Mount Etna, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Descend wide sweeping roads to the sea, enjoying sweeping Mediterranean coastline views on the way.

LIVING PLANET, SPECTACULAR CYCLING

Geologic forces are at work on the surface in Sicily, resulting in fascinating riding. Cycle through ancient canyons of the Anapo Preserve. Wind up and down rocky hills and river valleys to the inland architectural treasure of Modica and taste the city’s famous chocolate, with flavors that reflect the island’s diverse cultures. Speed along at sea level, just meters from the tides that have shaped this land for eons. 

ARANCINI, CANNOLI, AND SPECIALTIES FRESH FROM THE SEA

Soak up sun and savor seafood at a table meters from the sea. Stop at a cafè and enjoy some arancini - rice balls featuring local meats and produce. At night, dine in outstanding top restaurants, with local chefs outdoing each other to produce creative dishes from the world’s freshest ingredients.

Check-in, Bike fitting and welcome dinner.

Pass through Cassaro and Ferla, considered among the most beautiful towns in Italy, and immerse yourself in the charm of authentic Sicily. Explore the Anapo Valley Natural Reserve, renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich archaeological sites.

Leaving from Ispica, our journey unfolds through the winding streets of Modica, where the unmistakable aroma of its famous chocolate fills the air. We continue on to Scicli, a jewel of baroque architecture nestled among rugged hills, before turning our bikes toward the sea. From here, the road leads us along a shimmering coastline, with the scent of salt and wild herbs accompanying every pedal stroke, until we finally arrive in Marzamemi — a small, enchanting fishing village where time seems to slow down and the colors of Sicily glow even brighter

From Aci Reale, we will ride along the stunning coastline to the second destination of our amazing trip: Taormina, a town celebrated for its rich Greek heritage, picturesque streets, and breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea.

53 KM – 830 M / 32 MI – 2723 FT

After soaking in the coastal charm for the first kilometers, challenge yourself with climbs to the iconic villages of Savoca and Forza d’Agrò, celebrated worldwide as filming locations for the legendary movie The Godfather.

87 KM 1880 M 54 MI 5150 FT

We saved the best for the last day: the most epic ride in Sicily. Ride through the town of Nicolosi, known as the “Gateway to Etna” and conquer Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, where the ever-changing landscape of lava fields and lush forests will take your breath away – if the long climb hasn’t already!

110 KM – 2280 M / 68 MI – 7500 FT

On our last day, we savor the good memories of a fantastic week. Goodbye, Sicily—until we meet again!
