Do you like some warming sun, while autumnal cold prevails at home? And you can combine it with enjoying typical sicilian hospitality, exploring picturesque villages and refreshing in the Mediterranean Sea. The Etna is always in sight and finally you will climb the vulcano and cycle through its moon-like lava areas. This (and much more) is on your schedule at this GBI cycling tour through eastern Sicily.
Tour highlights:
- Enjoy Sicilian hospitality & cuisine
- Refresh yourself with a plunge into the Mediterranean Sea
- Explore the picturesque Piazza Armerina
- Sleep at the base of a volcano
- Get enchanted by the unique lava area
- Pedal through extensive orange & lemon plantations
- Enjoy the sunset at Cefalù
- Climb the Etna on two wheels
As most of Sicily is very hilly, you should be aware of frequent ups and down. We have designed the route in order to touch as many 'must sees' as possible, but also to give you an impression of the beauty of the islands countryside. We will enjoy good food and wine and sleep in exciting locations.
All kinds of bikes are welcome, whether you have a road bike, mountainbike, city bike or even pedelecs. Depending on the number of participants we will cycle in several (at least two) teams with different speed levels.
The Global Biking Initiative (GBI) wants to show you the most interesting places in Europe the sportive way. We are proud of our international participants, that makes it easy for everybody to make new friends from other countries. Our main goal is the continuous support of charity projects worldwide. We achieve this by engaging the participants to raise funds that support charity projects in their home countries.
