Sicily is a country within a country. The island is both a part of and apart from Italy, with a history and culture of all its own.
The cuisine is unique, taking influences from the mainland and from the wider Mediterranean, thanks to ancient ties to north Africa and to France and Spain. And thanks to the rich, volcanic soil left over from Mount Etna’s many eruptions, Sicilian wines are just as distinctive as the dishes they accompany.
The island’s towns and cities are teeming with art, music and literature, with beautiful Baroque and Rococo architecture to be found at every turn. The countryside, by contrast, is rugged and untamed, full of winding roads and undulating terrain, Greek temples and ancient Roman ruins, little villages and seemingly endless views.
In other words, it’s perfect for bike riding, and we are very excited to share it with you.
