This cycling holiday across Italy, coast to coast from Puglia on Adriatic coast to Sorrento on the Amalfi really is a cycling gem. A fairly challenging one too, covering this southern region of Italy in six days, and cycling on road for an average of 71km per day. Although you can also use an electric bike for this trip, which will make some of the interior hills of the Lucan Dolomites, aka 'Dolomites of the South', or the Sentinella Pass in Cilento National Park a little more bearable. From the Amalfi coast in the east, we head west into the rural landscapes of the Basilicata and Campania regions. And along the way, we take time in historic cities such as Matera, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which we reach after cycling through traditional villages scattered along the Appia Antica ancient Roman road. Continuing on through the Campania region, more UNESCO wonders await in Padulas Carthusian monastery, with the biggest cloister in the world and then later at the Temples of Paestum, the famous Greek temples where the joyful sight of sea also adds beauty to this already pretty picture. Our final leg takes us by train to Salerno, where we begin the grand and very gorgeous finale along the Amalfi coast all the way to Sorrento. It is possible to hire electric bikes for this holiday.
