Anapo Valley, Palazzolo Acreide
and Noto Antica

A beautiful bike tour on a cycle path and on quiet country roads to Palazzolo Acreide and Noto Antica. Meet your cycling guide at the cycle path of the Anapo Valley. – ten km of pure bliss surrounded by unexpected lush vegetation. The cycle path follows the river Anapo on a former railway line. A short climb into Palazzolo Acreide, a pretty baroque town of ancient origins. We stop for a typical Sicilian snack – the Arancina! We continue mostly downhill on quiet back roads, on gently rolling hills between grain fields, carob trees and olive groves until we arrive in Noto Antica, the original site of the town. 

Switchbacks of Avola Antica

This bike excursion starting from Siracusa is another favourite of the locals. We start on a flat stretch to warm up before we begin the climb of the switchbacks up to Avola Antica with stunning views over the coastline. A well deserved coffe break with a view over the canyon at the vista point of Cavagrande del Cassibile. Then we continue on rolling hills on the Iblei plateu on quiet country roads before we return on as fast downhill towards Siracusa.
