E-MTB Sicily Grand Tour

Welcome to Sicily! Upon your arrival at the airport, you'll be transferred to your hotel located on the majestic Mount Etna. Settle in and prepare for the adventure that awaits. Enjoy a delicious dinner and rest up for the exciting journey ahead.

Meet your guide and prepare for an exhilarating cycling adventure on Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. Cycle through fields of lava rock, lush pine forests, and chestnut woods. Your journey will take you along the beautiful Pista Altomontana, passing several lava stone mountain huts. The day ends in the village of Milo, where you'll enjoy a hearty dinner and a restful night.

From Mount Etna, we'll cycle down the River Alcantara valley towards the medieval town of Castiglione di Sicilia. We'll pass by the beautiful churches of Randazzo and head towards the Alcantara Valley, known as the 'wine road' due to the many wineries in the area. In Castiglione di Sicilia, we'll stop to admire its imposing Castle before settling in for dinner and an overnight stay.

We'll start the day by visiting the ancient Cuba Byzantine chapel. From there, we'll take an off-road route to admire the Alcantara Valley's natural wonders, including the famous Alcantara gorges. We'll follow the river up to its mouth at the San Marco beach, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the Ionian Sea. After a day of exploration, we'll head back uphill for dinner and a restful night.

We'll leave the Alcantara Valley and head south to Sortino. From there, we'll cycle through the Giarranauti forest and onto the Pantalica plateau. We'll make a short stop in Ferla, a small town in the Iblei mountains, before cycling downhill towards the Pantalica and Anapo Valleys. The day ends in the town of Palazzolo, where we'll enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

We'll cycle from Palazzolo towards Noto, passing through the beautiful landscape of the Iblei Mountain plateau. We'll visit the baroque town of Palazzolo Acreide, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before heading towards Noto. We'll pass through the small hamlet of Testa dell'Acqua, from where the descent towards Noto begins. Upon arrival, we'll enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

We'll start the day with a cycle to Noto Antica, the ancient city of 'Netum' on Mount Alveria. After exploring the ruins, we'll return downhill towards modern Noto and proceed to Eloro Beach. From there, we'll cycle along the Ionian Sea, passing by the beautiful beaches of Vendicari and San Lorenzo, before arriving at the delightful fishing village of Marzamemi. Enjoy a refreshing almond granita to finish off a great day of cycling. Dinner and overnight stay on site.

As our adventure comes to an end, we'll transfer you to Catania Airport for your journey home. We hope you leave with unforgettable memories and stories to tell from your Sicilian cycling adventure.
