Winter months get down to around 13ºC and summer reaches 30ºC+ on some days. Ocean breezes roll across the island but cycling Sicily is definitely best suited for those who like it hot! Expect rainfall in the winter, and a hot/dry summer season.
Oceans, volcanoes, and mountains make for spectacular biking terrain. The coastlines are gleaming, but the interior is rough and ready. Dust off your cleats and gather your gear; climbing in Sicily is an excellent preparation for more difficult routes.
Sicily has a rich and diverse culture, as well as a fascinating history that runs throughout the island. The arts and architecture are important on the island. It also has significant archaeological and ancient sites, such as the Pantalica Necropolis and the Valley of the Temples.
We leave the lush gardens and orchards of Piazza Armerina and travel to the most typical landscapes of Sicily’s interior, which consist of bare hills surrounded by fields and dry stone walls. We stop for lunch in the lovely old town of Caltagirone, where we visit a local potter’s workshop and climb the magnificent Santa Maria del Monte staircase. In the afternoon, we continue through the Caltagirone countryside, where we spend the night in a comfortable rural residence.
