Bike Tour: Cycling Holidays in Sicily: Sunset coast, Marsala & Trapani - 5 days

Arrive to the town where Marsala wine comes from and spend the afternoon mingling with the locals as they promenade on marble cobbled streets from one piazza to the next, chatting and admiring the numerous imposing baroque churches.

An easy, mostly flat coastal ride ideal for cycling holidays in Sicily, with a short inland section through cultivated fields and vineyards. Take time to visit the old town of Mazzara del Vallo before retracing your steps, and don’t forget your swimming gear if you feel like a refreshing dip. You can also return by train from Mazzara to Marsala.

Challenge: 50 km, 150m ascent, 150m descent

Head North along the coast to the spectacular Inversa salt flats, a patchwork of shallow coastal lakes lined with ancient windmills and home to many migratory birds and a small salt museum. In the afternoon you will ride back to Marsala and take the train to Trapani.

Challenge: 35 km, 200m ascent, 150m descent 

This morning a short boat ride takes you to the Island of Favignana, the largest of the three Aegadian Islands, set 7 km off the western coast of Sicily and well known for its tuna fishing tradition. It’s a delight to enjoy cycling holidays in Sicily along the island’s flat coastal roads, bordered by inviting turquoise seas. Stop for a dip in one of the many secluded coves and bays and enjoy the slow pace of life while people-watching in the village square.

Challenge: 25 km, 250m ascent, 250m descent
