Itinerary
Jour
01
Rome
Our tour begins with the reception of tour participants at the airport and transfers to the hotel with Aventura Motorcycle Tours staff. The group will get together in the evening for a welcome drink, dinner, and our very first ride!
It is said that all roads lead to Rome, and millions of people come to this vibrant city every year to marvel at its unique charm. Only a few do it by night and on two wheels. We leave for this fantastic evening ride right after dinner, and our route will have eight stops in major landmarks designed to tell us about the city's history and appreciate all its beauty from a different point of view.

Rome - Napoli
Having explored Rome the previous night on our evening ride, we will take it easy in the morning and get on the road to Napoli via a fast highway, allowing the group to get to know this vibrant town for a while before we board our ferry in the late afternoon.
The sailing to Napoli is around 11 to 12 hours long, and we will have enough time to eat aboard and get a replenishing night's sleep before waking up in Palermo the following day.

Corleone is a picturesque town with a rich history that dates back to the Roman Empire, and it's a great place to experience the local culture and way of life. It is also famous for being featured in "The Godfather" celebrated movies by Francis Ford Coppola.
We will continue our ride south to Agrigento, a town famous for its Valley of the Temples, an archeological site of ancient Greek temples declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Valley of the Temples is one of the world's most impressive and well-preserved examples of ancient Greek architecture.

This charming medieval town is located in a valley, surrounded by abrupt cliffs, and is known for its architecture, a mesmerizing blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Modica follows next, yet another quaint town full of charm.
We'll then ride to Marzamemi, a little fishing village on the southernmost point of Sicily. We'll have the opportunity to stroll along the town's narrow streets before calling it a day in our hotel nearby, an old villa restored to perfection, and experience an excellent local dinner there.

The day starts with a ride up north to historic Noto and then northeast towards Syracuse, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important cities in the ancient world. We turn north again and head straight to one of the highlights in Sicily, the Etna volcano. Riding along winding mountain roads will be memorable; you can rest assured.
After the mandatory photos on the Etna, we'll press on to Taormina, a gem of a town perched on a hilltop. Views will be magnificent, as Taormina overlooks the Ionian Sea and faces the volcano in all its splendor. Tomorrow we'll have a full day to explore it in full.
