Villages of Sicily
A unique journey that lives through roads and places out of the ordinary tourism. The many uncontaminated villages, unique in their beauty, where time seems to have stopped in the past. Villages where it is always a pleasure to stop for a coffee and chat with the locals who are always ready to tell and tell each other. The roads and alternative routes that we will travel, away from car traffic, will give us the joy of traveling by motorbike.

Medium motorcycle difficulty – reserved trip for up to 8 crews
