Ideal for food and wine lovers, Italophiles, and cyclists eager to discover the authentic heart of Sicily on quiet roads and at a relaxed pace.

For more than thirty years, Sicily has been one of Ciclismo Classico’s favorite regions—not because of its beaches or famous landmarks, but because nowhere else in Italy combines great cycling, exceptional food, and such a strong local identity. This journey explores southeastern Sicily, linking the Baroque towns of Noto, Modica, and Ragusa with quiet roads through the Iblei Mountains. Along the way, discover artisan chocolate makers, olive oil producers, local wineries, and the traditions that make Sicilian cuisine one of the most distinctive in Italy. Combined with elegant hotels, warm hospitality, and unforgettable riding, this is Sicily at its most authentic.

Single Supplement

If you are traveling alone, this optional single supplement will guarantee you a room to yourself at each hotel. The cost of a single room is often more than half the price of a shared room, so this additional supplement reflects that increased cost for each night over the course of the trip.
