Enjoy Cycling Sicily

Quiet roads and rolling terrain guide us from one Baroque masterpiece to the next, through a region where architecture is not just something to visit, but something you live inside.

Riding at a relaxed, recreational pace, we cross a territory shaped by light, stone, and centuries of craftsmanship. From Syracuse and Ortigia to Noto, Scicli, Modica, and Ragusa, each day reveals a different expression of Sicilian Baroque, best experienced from the saddle.

Local food and wine are an essential part of the journey, connecting places, flavors, and traditions into a seamless experience — a ride designed for those who value beauty, authenticity, and the pleasure of moving slowly through extraordinary places.

We believe the best cycling trips happen when great routes meet smart logistics. Too often, stunning places are skipped just to make the schedule work — that’s not our style. We only call a tour “ready” when it’s planned so well that we’d happily ride it ourselves the very next day.

Sicily Circle is exactly that: seven stages combining iconic towns like Taormina with Sicily’s wildest landscapes, linking the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas. The route crosses Etna National Park, riding on the slopes of Europe’s highest active volcano, before revealing a greener and unexpected side of the island through the Madonie and Nebrodi parks, with forests, medieval villages, and wide-open views stretching to the sea.

Thanks to flexible logistics, the tour can start either in Taormina or Cefalù, depending on whether you land in Catania or Palermo. The routes, accommodations, and highlights remain the same, ensuring a seamless and well-balanced cycling experience.

From the Ionian coast you’ll climb into Mount Etna’s otherworldly landscapes on legendary roads—Piano Provenzana, Rifugio Sapienza, Portella Mandrazzi—then sweep back down through lava-stone villages, fertile vineyards, and the dramatic Alcantara and Agrò valleys. A perfect blend of challenge, authenticity, and comfort: big rides by day, and the ease of returning to the same hotel every night.

Beyond the better-known destinations, quiet roads lead through a territory shaped by centuries of history, from ancient Greek settlements to coastal towns and rural inland villages. Riding at a moderate pace, we cross a varied landscape of vineyards, saltpans, fishing villages, and open countryside, discovering a side of Sicily that remains largely untouched by mass tourism. Guided by local knowledge, the journey combines natural beauty, cultural depth, carefully selected accommodations, and traditional cuisine, creating an immersive cycling experience through one of the island’s most fascinating regions.
