Let yourself be guided on an exclusive, immersive experience among the treasures of Agrigento, where every pedal stroke tells a storey and every stop is infused with the scent of authentic Sicily.
A bike ride through the picturesque beauty of Agrigento will reveal the storey of the area to you. A tasting session in the heart of the Valley of the Temples will let you savour it.
The e-bike portion of the tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours. Upon returning to the starting point, the Casa Diodoros culinary experience begins.
Our adventure begins at Casa Diodoros, in the heart of the Valley of the Temples. From here, aboard powerful professional e-bikes (E-EXPL 700), you will embark on an enchanting tour through archaeology, nature, and culinary delights. Accompanied by our bike guide, Angelo, you will get a close-up view of the majestic Temple of Concordia, the ancient necropolis, and the historic vegetable gardens, where the produce of the land is harvested and served fresh on your plate at the end of the tour.
We will then venture into an enchanting garden of medicinal plants, a fragrant oasis steeped in ancient knowledge and therapeutic properties. Dirt roads will lead us through olive groves, almond orchards, and fields of heirloom wheat, symbols of precious biodiversity and local cuisine. Each stretch of the route is an encounter with history and with the land.
The route continues to the historic centre of Agrigento, where the city’s soul is revealed through its narrow streets, churches, and timeless atmosphere. Here, we will stop for an exclusive tasting of pistachio couscous, whose age-old recipe has been safeguarded for centuries by the nuns of a local convent. We will then climb to the Cathedral, located in the highest part of the city, from where you can enjoy an unforgettable panorama.
On our way down, we will once again pass through the ancient Arab quarter of Rabato, with its down-to-earth charm and forgotten stories.
The bike tour (approximately 15 km [9 miles] in total) lasts 3 hours, with 1 hour and 15 minutes spent riding on varied routes that are suitable for those with a basic level of cycling experience.
The experience culminates at the dining table, back at Casa Diodoros, where a delicious and hearty country-style lunch awaits you, served in the shade of the olive trees or in the air-conditioned dining room:
Three traditional starters, one pasta or rice dish of the day, water, wine, and fresh fruit will nourish your body and mind.
Everything is prepared using local organic products, grown and cooked according to tradition in an elegant country house nestled in the valley.
A perfect balance between culture, nature, activity, and culinary delights. A day to be experienced with all your senses.
A tailor-made experience in a PRIVATE and EXCLUSIVE format awaits you!
