Cycling in Sicily

Bike touring

Life doesn’t get much better than cycling in Sicily, whether you’re out for a morning spin or a week-long adventure. Sunning itself in the Mediterranean, this diverse Italian island is an absolute haven for cyclists who want the best of mountains, coastline and, let’s face it, food. 

Cycle routes along Sicily’s west coast bring you to Marsala, an ancient Phoencian settlement. Ride to its archaeological sites and see the salt pans glittering along the shore. Largely hilly and mountainous, bike rides throughout Sicily offer challenging climbs and fantastic, unforgettable descents through cultivated farmland and past rocky outcrops. The great Mount Etna resides north of the beautiful port city of Catania and cycling around her base is a magnificent objective. 

Rides across Sicily bring you face to face with Ancient Greek history at every turn, from temples to statues. With long-distance cycle trails on the island, magical adventures await.
