This is a self-guided trip for those who prefer to cycle independently, but with our assistance to take out the stress of the logistics and planning. We arrange your accommodation, provide you with a map and route notes so that you can cycle at your own pace, while your bags are transported from one hotel to the next.
As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. There maybe others on the same departure date as you, but you will not be organised together. The routes notes contain a 24-hour emergency assistance telephone number should you need it and in emergencies, the hotels are normally able to dispatch a taxi or pick you up themselves. They may wish to charge for this service.
Arrive in Castellammare Del Golfo and enjoy an afternoon in one of Sicily’s most picturesque seaside towns.
From the fortress-studded shores of Castellammare Del Golfo you reach the archaeological site of Segesta. After admiring its Grecian temple and amphitheatre, end the day in hamlet of Bruca, just in time for a refreshing dip in the Agriturismo’s salt water pool before your evening meal.
Meals included: breakfast, dinner
Leaving Bruca’s olive covered foothills, you’ll cycle inland towards Trapani. Spend the afternoon exploring its intricate Baroque churches, museums and shops that sell hand harvested sea salt, coral jewellery and tuna products.
Meals included: breakfast
A great opportunity to explore the area with many options available for you whilst in Trapani. Spend time exploring this beautiful coastal city or take a cable car to the picturesque medieval village of Erice overlooking the Salt pans. Alternatively, ride the hydrofoil to enjoy a day exploring one of the Egadi Island which offer plenty of opportunities to snorkel around coral reefs, cycling or walking.
Meals included: breakfast
Today you can cycle at a relaxed pace with views overlooking the Mediterranean Sea whilst admiring the Egadi Islands in the distance. If you haven’t already done so, on your way to Trapani, spend time exploring the Saline of Trapani and Paceco. Then it’s onto Mozia, an ancient city on San Pantaleo Island off the West Coast of Sicily and visit its striking archaeological ruins. A short ride away, you will reach Marsala where the fortified wine originates from.
Meals included: breakfast
Visit Marsala’s local wineries and explore the town at your own leisure before setting off on today’s panoramic coastal cycle towards Mazara del Vallo, with its vibrant fishing port and Arab Kasbah and home of the bronze statue the ‘Dancing Satyr’.
Meals included: breakfast
Most of today’s cycle will be along the coast before heading inland towards vineyards and aromatic olive groves. You end the day in Selinunte where you can visit one of the largest archaeological parks in Europe before heading to your hotel in Marinella di Selinunte. With seven Grecian temples spanning 1,300 meters east, the Selinunte archaeological site is a true architectural gem.
