Sicily
Rich and ripe for exploration – adventures for bikers and hikers.
Sicily is beautifully complex created by an alluring mix of cultures, history, architecture, and cuisine. What better way to explore it than by bike…or hike. The island’s strategic position, lying between Europe and Africa in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, made it an attractive strong hold for many countries throughout the centuries. Each invader left a mark adding to the many layers that make Sicily spectacular. You will want to make it your strong hold as well – although for other reasons. Whether by bike or hike you will be a part of it all – the bold wildflowers, flowering almond trees, the salty smell of the sea, stunning ancient sites, and sounds of the birds. The ancient voices of Sicily are calling to you.
At the end of your activity explore the Sicilian cuisine, which can only be described as unforgettable – unique in all of the world. It is a balance of flavors derived from the many cultural influences over the centuries. What better reward after a day of biking or hiking?
