Rome to Sicily ^RTS

Italia

Un inolvidable viaje en moto por las calles del sur de Italia y Sicilia.

Sicilia – esta isla ofrece todo lo que un motociclista puede soñar: calles de montaña curvas, poco tráfico y acogedoras trattorias. Comenzamos nuestro viaje en Catania y como Goethe escribió una vez: "Italia sin Sicilia no tiene alma. Aquí está la clave de todo". Un mar resplandeciente, delicias mediterráneas, joyas culturales y caminos de motos. El monte Etna con su suave nube de humo por encima de él siempre está en nuestra mente. Cruzamos la parte occidental de la isla y nos atrevemos a conducir en el centro de la mafia, Corleone.
En el continente italiano disfrutamos de la popular ciudad de vacaciones Tropea y no necesitamos esperar al siguiente punto culminante: nuestra ruta en dirección norte a lo largo de la costa única de Amalfi. Las muchas bahías parecen atractivas para nadar un poco: mantengan sus bañadores listos. Al final de nuestro recorrido, Roma nos impresiona con una mezcla de estilo metropolitano, arquitectura antigua y gente de todo el mundo.

Rome - Sicily

Thanks to Edelweiss Bike Travel, we can look back on an incredibly unique tour. From booking to our 11-day journey with Alan, Marko, and Domenico - our experience was perfect in every way. From the start of the tour in Sicily to its end in Rome, a broad smile was always on our faces, and it was hardly possible to fully capture all the images, smells, and sounds with our senses. We were especially amazed by the many small mountain villages where we usually spent our breaks. Here, we recharged our batteries with espresso and conversations with the locals, or we simply sat down and tried to burn the countless and unique moments into our memories. During the daily rides, we were always overwhelmed by the landscape, and the winding mountain roads were simply incredible to ride on. Enjoying the rush of wind, we finally ended the tour with a tear in our eye because none of us wanted it to end. Would we book the trip again? Absolutely and without hesitation.

Ancient monuments and modern roads

The whole Edelweiss Bike Travel team would like to express heartfelt thanks to journalist Peter Thoeming for joining our "Rome to Sicily" tour 2023 and for the fantastic testimonial!

One of the great things that motorcycle tour operators can do for you is to organise a route that includes a lot of outstanding destinations – and then connect them with spectacular motorcycle roads. I have found Edelweiss to be particularly good at this, on a variety of outings from places like Cuba to the Alps and Norway, and they have done it particularly well on this 11-day Sicily to Rome (and vice versa) tour. Connecting interesting places with good bike roads is not as easy as it sounds, but Edelweiss surely did it on this trip. We got a mild but still enjoyable introduction to Sicily’s roads from Catania to our first stop, the Villa Romana del Casale. This Roman country house from the 4th Century CE has 3,500 square metres of spectacular floor mosaics including pictures of ten Roman girls – in bikinis! This was followed up by the classic ruins of the Valley of the Temples before we reached our hotel near Agrigento. This demonstrated another advantage of having an experienced tour operator; the hotel, set in a green and beautifully sculpted garden, was exceptional. All the way north past the Mafia-tainted small towns of Prizzi and Corleone to Cefalu on the north coast, we sampled Sicily’s best mountain roads the next day. That was the pattern for nearly a week – wonderful and challenging roads and classic stops. A ride up along the slopes of Mount Etna gave us an idea of the power of the volcano, and our hotel in Taormina was a true classic, right next to the pedestrianised old town with its mixture of shops selling high fashion and tourist tatt.Once we crossed on the ferry to the shin of the boot of Italy, we sampled some vertiginous coastal cliff roads and more classic places like Paestum and Pompeii over a few days before checking into another classy hotel in Rome. The end of the tour, and a shared decision to try more of the Edelweiss Motorbike Tours.
