Welcome to a cycling adventure that weaves through the heart of Sicily, from the coastal allure of Castellammare del Golfo to the vibrant streets of Palermo. This journey is not just about pedalling; it’s an exploration of Sicily’s soul, its undulating landscapes, rich history, and culinary delights.
Our route unfolds along the Sicilian coast, starting from Castellammare del Golfo. Here, the Mediterranean’s azure embrace sets the stage for our adventure. As we pedal through ancient towns like Erice and Ragusa, each climb is rewarded with stunning panoramas and architectural marvels, telling tales of Sicily’s layered past.
The heart of Sicily beckons with its vineyard-dotted countryside. In towns like Selinunte and Sambuca di Sicilia, local wines and traditional cuisine await, offering a taste of the island’s agricultural bounty. As we cycle on, we delve into the historic depths of Corleone, a name etched in popular culture, yet brimming with untold local narratives.
Our journey takes a serene turn through the Sicani Mountains, where nature’s untouched beauty envelops us. The tranquillity of the Ficuzza forest is a refreshing contrast to the rugged landscapes we’ve traversed.
As we approach Palermo, the journey culminates in a crescendo of cultural richness. This city is a mosaic of historical influences, from Arab-Norman architecture to bustling markets like Ballarò and Vucciria. Here, the spirit of Sicily comes alive in every street corner, every plate of street food, and in the warmth of its people.
This cycling tour is more than a physical journey; it’s a voyage through time, taste, and tradition. It’s an invitation to experience Sicily in its most authentic form – on two wheels, with an open heart, and a spirit ready for adventure. Join us for an unforgettable ride across this enchanting island.

We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!


Great trip: excellent customer service, great route, excellent hotel stays during the tour. The bike rental company that they use is the best I've ever experienced in Europe. I am even planning to buy the same bike for myself at home that I had on the trip! We had this service also book our stay for after the tour, and that is the only thing I would do differently next time, since the hotel for the several days after the tour was not very good, had mediocre service and not a good location. But for the tour, I would definitely recommend DenmarkBikeTours.
Exploring Tuscany on a self-guided cycling holiday was pure joy. The carefully curated routes took me through vineyards, olive groves, and picturesque towns like Siena and Pienza. I loved being able to stop whenever I wanted to soak in the views or enjoy a cappuccino in a quaint café. The GPS and route notes were spot-on, and the logistics, from luggage transfers to charming accommodations, were seamless. Tuscany’s beauty is best experienced on two wheels, and the freedom to set my own pace made it unforgettable.
