This motorcycle tour takes you to places which have not yet attracted mass tourism – making them miraculous wonderlands. Starting in the capital of Tuscany, Florence will show you the cradle of the Renaissance !
After leaving the city, we will ride south, enjoying winding roads and amazingly untouched natural settings, get a glimpse of lake Tragimeno and spent the night in Perugia, which has one of the oldest city centres.
The scenic Appennine mountain range, also called the "spine" of Italy, will bring us countless twisties on our way to the beautiful medieval town of Melfi in the Basilicata region with its imposing castle just above the old historical center. Later, we will also stroll through and marvel at Matera, the European Capital of Culture for 2019 and a side trip to Alberobello will give us the opportunity to see its typical Trulli buildings, which look like someone took them from a fairytale!
When reaching the capital of Apulia, we know our trip has come to an end....Bella Italia...What else can we say? Join this epic adventure with Edelweiss Bike Travel.
