Sicily Cycling Tours

A half day tour of Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe: nature, ancient flavours and strolls through a land of craters! Departing from your accommodation, passing first the Etna villages of Gravina, Mascalucia and Nicolosi until reaching Sapienza Refuge at 1,910 metres above sea level.

The trails that we propose are able to satisfy all bikers’ needs, going from downhill with descents on lava sand and single trails through woods, continuing with free-ride and endure trails, and trails of various difficulties along one of the paths of the Etna Park.

Cycle the rolling southern outskirts of the Province of Ragusa toward the sea. As you ride, you are surrounded by quiet countryside, with miles of stonewalls tracing your progress. Here and there, you see cattle lazily grazing in the shade of large carob and olive trees, and greenhouses where fragrant vegetables are grown to stock both the local markets and those in the northern regions of Italy and Europe.

Shuttle to Modica to enjoy one of the most interesting visits of the week: the chocolate factory of the Bonajuto family. The oldest factory of its kind in town, Antica Dolceria Bonajuto has been processing cocoa since 1880, using Aztec techniques imported by the Spanish more than 400 years ago. A mouth-watering tasting is a must after the tour. From Baroque Modica, you start riding north in the peaceful countryside of the Noto Valley, with a stop on the way for lunch on your own at an organic farm. You are welcomed by smiling mama Nella, the owner, who overviews the many activities of her 50 hectar farm while cooking breads, jams, sherbets and much more for her guests. On the farm, taste fresh-made ricotta, made especially for you by a local cheese maker.

edal along quiet, mostly easy country roads, heading to the sea. On the way, be sure to pause to visit the mosaics of an ancient Roman villa, dating to the 4th century BC. The mosaics rival the beauty of the more famous and larger mosaics at the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina. Your destination is the recently restored, ancient fishing village of Marzamemi, nestled on a small promontory south of Syracuse. Marzamemi was developed in the 17th century around a tuna fishery, which is now the second largest in Sicily and a national monument.

You will have the opportunity to see the famous "Gurne" of Alcantara and the ruins of Francavilla Castle.

When Francis Ford Coppola began work on filming his classic, The Godfather, he realized he couldn’t use the actual town in which the books are set - Corleone, Sicily. By the early 1970s, Corleone was too modern-looking to serve as the historic place of the novels. Instead, producers decided to use the towns of Savoca.

Join the wine bike tour. The cuisine in Sicily is different from the rest of the Italy,in addition to its great wines, dinner in Sicily usually consists of vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, artichokes), plenty of seafood, and yes, lots of pasta and olive oil. Its lemons, oranges, figs, almonds and apricots are among the best in the world. Castiglione di Sicilia is resting on a hill on the north side of Etna, in the middle of the valley that the river Alcantara digs between Randazzo and  Taormina. To see it from afar, it is the archetype of the typical hilltop village, with houses perched along the slope.

During our tour we will visit wine cooperatives with wine tasting and local food tasting.
