Baroque Bike Tour
Day 1
From Syracuse to Pozzallo Starting in Syracuse, you begin by visiting the island of Ortigia, the historic centre of the city. Here you will have the opportunity to admire the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Greek temple in Sicily, which dates back to the 6th century BC. Continue to Piazza Duomo, where you will find the beautiful cathedral, representative of an incredible crossroads of peoples and cultures. Leaving Ortigia, we move south to the renowned Fontane Bianche beach, where you can take a regenerating swim. Afterwards, you pass through Avola before arriving at Noto, the capital of late Sicilian Baroque. Noto is full of churches and noble palaces from the 18th century. We continue southwards, skirting the Vendicari nature reserve, until we arrive at Marzamemi, a typical and ancient seaside village where time seems to have stopped. From here, we head south-west to reach the south coast of the island and arrive at Pozzallo, one of the most famous seaside resorts in the province of Ragusa, also known for its 15th-century Cabrera tower.
Day 2
From Pozzallo to Ragusa Ibla The second stage is shorter in terms of kilometres, but still challenging because of the differences in altitude. It is one of the richest stages in terms of history, culture and landscape. Leaving Pozzallo, we skirt the coast in a westerly direction to arrive at the seaside village of Sampieri. From here, you begin to penetrate towards the Iblei mountains. Going uphill, you reach Scicli, a magnificent town set among the hills, famous for its Baroque and for having been the set of many scenes in the TV series 'Il Commissario Montalbano'. It is here that the 'Vigata' police station is located. After visiting Scicli, we head towards Modica, famous for its churches and monuments, but above all for its Aztec-derived chocolate production. Here we suggest a stop to sample the local delicacies. Finally, continuing along the Irminio river valley, we arrive at Ragusa Ibla. This village, perched on a hill, dominates the surrounding valley with its little houses and narrow streets, overlooked by the majestic Cathedral of San Giorgio, the highest expression of Ibleo Baroque.
Day 3 - from Ragusa Ibla to Siracusa Leaving Ragusa Ibla, we head towards Siracusa to close the loop tour. Following a road with little traffic and scenery, we pass by the lake of Santa Rosalia to reach the town of Giarratana, the smallest town in the province of Ragusa, famous for its onion production. Once past Giarratana, we head towards the province of Siracusa. In the heart of the Iblei mountains is Palazzolo Acreide, a picturesque town. From here, the itinerary comes to an end. Heading west, along a mainly downhill route, we again arrive in Siracusa, thus concluding these three days rich in culture, history and nature.
