Summary

Discover the West of Sicily, from the jagged coastline and wild and lonely Egadi islands to the ancient Greek Temples, from the charming fishing villages to small hilltop villages - an extraordinary mixture of colours and flavours. This is Mediterranean culture, both ancient and modern.

Then there’s the food! The sun and soil both contribute to the excellence of Sicilian food and wine through the vivid colours and tastes it gives to the fresh local vegetables such as tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, zucchini, olives, oranges and capers. Add to this a huge variety of cheeses, and fresh succulent fish dishes. You think you will be in heaven!

This tour combines a reasonably gentle cycling tour with a days hiking through a glorious Nature Reserve along the west coast.

Accommodation

One of the features of this holiday is the typical Sicilian 3 and 4 star agriturismo hotels where you will stay. Set in the countryside and chosen for their peace and quiet, these are hotels where the owner is also a farmer. The only hotel used in town is in SanVito lo Capo where you can enjoy the fabulous sandy beach. The final accommodation in Scopello is used for its proximity to the exit from the Zingaro Nature Reserve.
