Set almost entirely within the UNESCO-listed National Park of Cilento, this cycling journey takes you deep into southern Italy’s wilder, more authentic side.

Each ride offers breathtaking views over crystal-blue waters and fragrant Mediterranean landscapes alive with history and tradition. With our expert guides, you’ll uncover Cilento’s rich heritage—from the ancient Greek temples of Paestum to family-run farms crafting creamy buffalo mozzarella.
