Come discover a part of this magical island that is often overlooked and too easily dismissed. Sicilian history was shaped along these now sleepy shores, and much of its remnants are ancient, including the magnificent ruins at Segesta, whose temple has remained virtually intact for 2,500 years. No hilltop medieval town equals Erice, and the cathedral in Monreale will take your breath away. Due to Asian, African, and European influences, this Mediterranean hub of ancient history has become a true melting pot.

Gain a better understanding of Sicily’s fascinating rich cultural heritage as you pedal between ancient sites and wander amid some of antiquity’s finest ruins and classical Greek temples. Experience the succulent Sicilian wine and cuisine. Local specialties, such as involtini di pesce spada, spaghetti con tonno e finocchio, caponata di melanzane and the timeless granita di limone, are examples of how we will tantalize your taste buds!
