At the very tip of Italy's boot, Calabria reveals a unique side of itself, wild and luminous. Bordered by two seas and dominated by a striking mountain range, this still little-known region offers a raw, authentic and unpretentious Italy. A cycling trip that focuses on the beauty of the landscape: cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean, villages clinging to the hillsides, olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see, and scenic roads lined with citrus trees and fragrant scrubland.
From Lamezia Terme to Catanzaro, via Tropea and the turquoise waters of the Costa degli Dei, you will ride along some of Italy's most spectacular beaches before crossing the Strait of Messina to Sicily, adding a touch of adventure to the itinerary. Here, simplicity and authentic charm reign supreme: no artificial scenery, just the power of the landscapes and the generosity of southern Italy. An itinerary for cyclists who love freedom, Mediterranean warmth, and unspoiled areas far from the crowds.
