Guided
Supported
Explore the Baroque splendor and rugged landscapes of what was once the jewel of Magna Grecia (Ancient Greece).
Enjoy quiet rides by the glittering Mediterranean and then challenge yourself with some fabulous rides through the hills and valleys of the interior. We begin in magnificent Siracusa, whose old town (Ortigia) and 2,500-year-old Greek theatre are world famous. You will cycle past charming fishing villages and explore the beautiful Baroque towns that are now heralded as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Taste some of the powerful red wines being made around Noto, try the original Atzec recipe for chocolate in the town of Modica, and learn how to make fresh ricotta cheese the traditional way. The tour finishes along the southern coast, so you can kick back and relax with a swim after your day’s ride and then watch the sunset from the terrace of your hotel. You may want to extend your tour with a guided hike around Mount Etna with a volcanologist (we'd be happy to set that up for you).
