This Viva Italia section begins in gritty, historic Palermo, once the crossroads of the ancient world - a fitting place to begin this fascinating section

First, the cyclists will spin along Sicily's northern coast, pulling into the charming medieval seaside town of Cefalu. The route now turns inland and heads southeast through Sicily's timeless and largely untouched interior to the hilltop town of Enna and its imposing Castello di Lombardia.

Another challenging day's ride takes them into the island's second largest city, Catania. On their rest day here, if they have the energy, they cyclists can climb the nearby volcano or simply stay in town and bargain for seafood at the city's La Pescheria market.

Highlights

  • Mount Etna
  • Amalfi Coast
  • Pompeii
  • The Colosseum in Rome
