Overview

On this extraordinary Bike Tour in Campania, our journey unfolds along the mesmerising Amalfi Coast. Our routes will lead us to hidden artistic treasures, while our local experts will guide us to relish the finest regional dishes and wines. Welcome to an extraordinary adventure! Your journey begins with a warm reception at Naples International Airport, where our expert guides will escort you to your charming Sorrento hotel. Starting from the heart of Sorrento, we'll swiftly venture into some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes. Today, we invite you to savour an exhilarating fusion of culinary delights and adventure. Our journey begins in the charming town of Sorrento, with a morning ride that spans 20 kilometres along the coastline, granting you mesmerizing views of the Gulf of Naples and the iconic Vesuvius on the horizon. Our cycling adventure takes an enticing turn as we ascend through quaint villages to Agerola, where a private delicacy-tasting experience awaits. Today, our journey leads us to the captivating destination of Paestum. We'll traverse a landscape adorned with lemon orchards and ancient olive groves, following the dramatic, rugged coastline that unveils enchanting villages. Our route then takes us along the scenic roads to Salerno and Eboli, where we'll visit a local caseificio (cheese factory) for a taste of the globally acclaimed mozzarella di bufala cheese. Our day begins with a nourishing breakfast, preparing us for another unforgettable ride through the region's scenic landscapes. We'll embark on a route characterized by gentle ascents and smooth descents, leading us to the charming village of Castellabate, nestled within the Cilento National Park—an area that earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998. After savouring a leisurely Italian breakfast at our hotel, perched on a stunning cape, we'll begin our day with a delightful downhill ride, taking us into the scenic hinterland. Our route unfolds with a series of gentle ascents and descents, leading us through charming villages like Centola, Foria, and San Mauro la Bruca. Our day begins with a delightful 10-kilometre stretch along the dramatic coastline, allowing us to savour the sea’s beauty. After bidding farewell to the shoreline, we'll face a significant ascent that spans 15 kilometres through the untamed hinterland. Our reward is a 20-kilometre descent alongside the sparkling blue waters of the river Mingardo, where we'll relish jaw-dropping vistas of Palinuro Bay.
