Dario Carzan, the co-owner of Siciclando, states this is "one of the most popular bike tour and the best to showcase the diversity and richness of Sicily – seaside bike routes, ancient towering temples, charming towns, and the power of the volcanoes." We begin in Sicily’s capital, Palermo and follow it with days of biking and hiking the north coast of the island and the Aeolian Islands, a volcanic archipelago listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Salina provides a lovely green background; Lipari offers spectacular views of the other islands and the coast of Sicily; a visit to the island of Vulcano allows one to hike a volcano for the most fascinating view of the Aeolian Islands. Then it is back to Sicily and on to the city of Taormina, one of the pearls of Sicily with its ancient Greco-Roman theatre and shop-lined streets.
