Sicily Biking, Italy ~ Butterfield and Robinson · Biking and Walking Since 1966

Activity Level: M
Start / Finish: Siracusa / Palermo

Fantasy Island

Sicilians are masters at the art of the warm welcome. They’ve certainly had practice; Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Arabs and other from-away visitors have all dropped in on this ravishing island jewel; over the centuries, leaving a wealth of artistic, architectural and culinary mementos in their wake. We travel deep into the lesser-known corners of the largest Mediterranean island to appreciate its true possibilities by bike. Riding across seaside salt pans and through quintessentially Italian coastal towns, we’ll savour Sicily’s unique charms in its Greek ruins, Michelin-starred dinners and a private Marsala tasting with a local legend. You’ll leave behind new friends, but you’ll come away with much, much more.

Day 1 Descend into Modica, famed for its Spanish baroque architecture and distinctive (not to mention delicious) chocolate
Day 2 After a morning cheese-making session, enjoy coastal riding—and perhaps a dip—before dinner at one of Italy’s top tables
Day 3 Visit magnificent Greek temples below the city of Agrigento with the expert guidance of our friend Michele
Day 4 Unwind from a day of glorious biking on the grounds of a five-star resort, an oasis in the island’s western countryside
Day 5 Opt for the B&R Century Ride to the Tripani salt pans, with a boat ride to the island of Mozia
Day 6 Breakfast in Mazara del Vallo, then addiu in Palermo
