A wonderful self-guided bike tour through rural and cultural Eastern Sicily, crossing the region of Noto which has been included in the Unesco World Heritage List since 2003. Following the vestiges of ancient cultures, this tour joins together the discovery of beautiful unspoilt areas, such as Cavagrande – deep gorges cut on the rock by a river - and Vendicari – a protected piece of white beach where many different species of birds build their nests - with the visit of some of the most ancient Sicilian towns. Syracuse was the leading city of Magna Grecia, then it underwent Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Swabian, Angevin and Spanish rule becoming a charming mixture of people and outstanding monuments, some of which are still in use as the Greek Theatre. You will cycle through the province, to places including Palazzolo Acreide with its Greek Theatre, Noto, Modica and Ragusa Ibla, with its unique baroque architecture emphasized by the natural beauty of the rosé colour of the stone used to build the town.

• Unique trails through an area rich in history and characterised by a huge cultural heritage
• Visit UNESCO world heritage sites 
• White sandy beaches and blue sea
