There are many trips available, among them trips in the natural park of the Volcano Etna, and tours through the oriental coast roads at the discovery of the "Baroque Towns" of the Noto Valley. It is possible to explore wild zones like Cavagrande and the Vendicari Natural oasis or the fishermen's village of Marzamemi and the ancient centre of the city of Syracuse and its Greek theatre.

Among other great places where you can bike are the Nebrodi mounts, the cave of ice in the Etna mountain, the ducea of Maniace, the Trearie lake and Taormina.
