Why this trip
Sicily, an island that isn't easily tamed
Sicily is a land of contrasts, shaped by the forces of nature and three thousand years of history.
At the crossroads of Mediterranean civilizations, it boasts an exceptional cultural heritage, from the Greek temples of Agrigento to the Arab-Norman palaces of Palermo, including the Baroque splendors of Ragusa and Syracuse.
But Sicily can also be explored by road. Far from the hustle and bustle of the coast, the island’s interior offers motorcyclists magnificent—and sometimes challenging—routes that wind through rugged mountains, rolling farmland, and hilltop villages.
A different side of Sicily—more hidden, more authentic—where every stop is a new discovery.
And then there’s Mount Etna, majestic and unpredictable, whose volcanic landscapes offer a breathtaking sight.
Set between the sea and the mountains, amid untamed nature and a rich cultural heritage, this trip invites you to discover all the wonders of an island with a truly unique character.
Route
Overview
Sicily occupies a unique position in the heart of the Mediterranean, where the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea meet. With its volcanic and mountainous landscapes, as well as the Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Spanish legacies that have enriched it, Sicily is an open-air treasure trove.
-
You'll arrive in Palermo early in the morning on the ferry from Genoa. If you rent a motorcycle there, you'll arrive the day before by plane.
Next, we set a course due west toward the western coast and the port of Marsala.
This little-known part of the island has retained an air of mystery.
-
The route winds through the rolling countryside of Castelvetrano.
After the majestic ruins of Selinunte, the road follows the southern coast to Agrigento and its extraordinary Valley of the Temples, a testament to the splendor of ancient Sicily.
-
Head inland, through wild hills, forgotten villages, and winding roads.
An authentic day of motorcycling that ends amid the Baroque splendor of Ragusa.
-
From Ragusa to Noto, the Baroque towns vie with one another in elegance before reaching Syracuse, a millennia-old city where Greek heritage blends with Mediterranean charm.
-
Sicily’s landscape changes as Mount Etna comes into view. The scenery becomes increasingly mountainous and volcanic, leading up to the northern slopes of Europe’s tallest active volcano.
-
A full day exploring Mount Etna, amid lava flows, forests, and lunar landscapes.
An exceptional playground for motorcycling, under the watchful eye of the Sicilian giant.
-
Winding through the unspoiled landscapes of the Nebrodi Mountains and the forests of Malabotta, the mountain roads offer stunning panoramic views before descending toward the Tyrrhenian Sea and Cefalù.
-
One last detour through the Madonie Mountains, past hilltop villages and scenic roads, before heading back to Palermo.
A fascinating and vibrant capital, Palermo boasts an exceptional heritage that blends all the Mediterranean influences inherited from centuries of history.
-
Return flight or ferry trip on the same day, unless you’d like to stay an extra night to explore the Sicilian capital.
