Overview

Bike bucket list! Island lovers, history buff, and Italophiles of all levels love this tour that keeps getting better since we first launched it in 1993. Focusing on Sicily’s lush green spectacle in springtime and its vast golden stage in autumn, our bike trip itinerary ranges from the southern and northeastern tips of the island to the beautiful, historic interior areas rarely seen by most tourists. Our cycling journey includes a hike up Mt Etna, the highest volcano in Europe, and culminates in exploring the dreamy, volcanic Aeolian Islands, each with its own distinct character and charm.
