Baroque Sicily
Sicily is unmissable - especially on a tour by bicycle! In the eastern part of the island, you'll encounter stunning coastal stretches, secluded sandy beaches, captivating nature reserves, and awe-inspiring cities. After an earthquake devastated many towns in 1693, they were predominantly rebuilt in the Baroque style. Whether you're in Noto or Palazzolo Acreide, the architecture is grandiose in many places. You'll also find picturesque fishing villages like Marzamemi and the ancient city of Syracuse. But one thing you shouldn’t miss out on is the exquisite Sicilian cuisine and warm hospitality!
Experience the serene charm of Palazzolo Acreide and immerse yourself in the laid-back southern Italian lifestyle. Begin your journey by exploring two baroque treasures, Ragusa Ibla and Modica. The second leg of the tour guides you through secluded gorges to Scicli and onward to the coastline, where you can unwind on the pristine white beaches of picturesque Pozzallo.
Day 5 offers a wealth of sights to behold, whether exploring the Longarini and Cuba marshes, renowned migratory bird sanctuaries, or the captivating coastline. A highlight is the breathtaking viewpoint at Isola delle Correnti, followed by an evening spent in the charming fishing village of Marzamemi. On the subsequent day, during the shorter leg of the journey, consider taking an extended break on the beach near the Vendicari nature reserve. After a delightful overnight stay in the enchanting town of Noto, you'll pedal your way to the final destination of Syracuse. For a more leisurely ride, stick to the coastal route, or opt for a more challenging journey through the hilly hinterlands.
Whether along the coastline or inland, Sicily's landscape offers breathtaking vistas. With a moderate level of fitness, you can conquer the hilly terrain and enjoy stunning panoramas as your reward. Throughout your journey, our team is available via our service hotline for any assistance you may need. Plus, with luggage transfer included in the tour package, you can travel light and leave your belongings behind, ensuring a hassle-free experience from accommodation to accommodation.
Whether in the north or the south, Italy is brimming with beautiful places and Mediterranean vibes. Discover the country and its people through our numerous cycling tours in Italy!
After visiting the historical Old Town of Palazzolo Acreide, you will cycle through the beautiful territory of the Monti Iblei, a unique landscape, where rugged and wild areas alternate with pleasant green scenery, characterized by the typical stonewalls. On your way to Modica there is a short climb of 3 km.
Before you leave Modica you should taste the famous chocolate, e.g. spiced with hot chili peppers. Cruising downhill through a beautiful Iblei canyon, you will arrive at Scicli, well worth a stroll through the small alleys, before you continue down to the coast to Pozzallo.
This day the road will be completely flat. You will pass through some typical wetlands, the "Patano Longarini" and "Patano Cuba", a popular stopover amongst the migratory birds on their trips between Africa and Europe. Cycling along the shore you will reach the southernmost point of Sicily, the island "Isola delle Correnti", which lies on the same latitude as Tunis and marks the watershed between the Ionian and the Mediterranean Sea. Continuing through Portopalo di Capo Passero and Marzamemi, an ancient fishing village, you will finish your ride in San Lorenzo.
On a flat road heading north along the coast, you will reach the entrance to the natural preserve and wildlife sanctuary "Oasi di Vendicari", a wonderful and uncontaminated coast full of interesting plants and rare birds. After this you will continue to the most famous baroque town, Noto.
The flat stage will lead you up north along the coast ending in Syrakus, metropolis in ancient Greece. Here you can visit the excavation site “Parco Archeologico Neapolis” and the old town of Ortigia (UNESCO World Heritage). Longer option possible more difficult option possible through the hinterlands with view point and beautiful descent.
End of tour and individual departure or extension with additional days. Possibility to make an individual city tour through Siracusa or the the nature reserve “Valle dell’Anapo” (Gorges of Pantalica, the biggest antique necropolis with over 5000 cave excavations).

Die Tour Barockstädte Sizilien war wunderbar. Wunderschöne Städte, sehr gute Beschreibung der Route, toller Service (wir hatten eine Panne und innerhalb von 1 Stunde wurde uns geholfen), sehr schöne Unterkünfte. Ein Hinweis: die Tour am ersten Tag ist für Gelegenheitsradler ohne E-Bike und im Hochsommer schon eine Herausforderung, vor allem auch wenn man nicht vorgebräunt ist. Man ist bei der Tour insgesamt sehr viel in der Sonne, da an den ...
Die Kombination aus Kultur und schöner Landschaft hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
Vielen Dank Frau Müller für Ihr Feedback zur Sizilien Reise! Ihre Worte machen Lust auf diese Radreise! Hoffentlich dürfen wir Sie auch nächstes Jahr wieder zu unseren Gästen zählen!
Ich hatte eine wunderbare, entspannte Tour mit dem E-Bike. Alles hat bestens geklappt. Gute kleine Hotels, gutes E-Bike, voreingestelltes GPS-Handy, Gepäcktransport usw. Vielen Dank!
Vielen lieben Dank für Ihr herzliches Feedback, Herr Heidel! Es freut uns, dass Sie so eine tolle Zeit in Italien verbracht haben. Wir freuen uns schon, bald wieder von Ihnen zu hören.
Wir hatten wunderschöne und eindrucksvolle Tage in Sizilien. Mit dem Fahrrad lernt man ja doch Land und Leute besser kennen. Alles hat bestens geklappt. Die Hotels waren sauber und ok. Frühstück war immer sehr gut und ausreichend. Die Fahrräder sind auch einwandfrei gelaufen. Die Beschreibung der Route war soweit auch in Ordnung. Wir fuhren trotzdem mit Google Maps im Hintergrund, da dies etwas einfacher war. Wir würden sofort wieder ...
Es war einfach wunderbar! Im Vorfeld hatten wir im Bekanntenkreis viele Bedenken bzgl. des Verkehrs, der Steigungen und der Hitze gehört, aber zum Glück hat uns das nicht abgeschreckt. Klar, wir waren im Juni nicht ganz alleine unterwegs, aber die Verkehrsführung, zum Teil einspurig oder über Ampeln geregelt, war wirklich unproblematisch. Auch, dass man einen Großteil der Strecke doppelt (in beide Richtungen) fährt, ist kein Makel, im Gegenteil - man ...
