We travel deep into the lesser-known corners of this Mediterranean island to appreciate its true possibilities by bike. Starting with Sicily’s sublime southeast, we ride along quiet roads past baroque wonders, soaking up views of the seashore and stopping for wine tastings and a visit with family farmers who share their passion for cheese. As we move on to the southwest coastal plain, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve crossed continents. Morocco comes to mind as you approach our sparkling retreat set among vineyards and olive groves. A sip of local Marsala should set the record straight.
