Let yourself be guided on an exclusive and immersive experience among the treasures of Agrigento, where every pedal stroke tells a storey and every stop smells like authentic Sicily.
A ride through the picturesque beauty of Agrigento will tell you about the area. A food tasting in the heart of the Valley of the Temples will let you savour it.
The e-bike portion 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 evocative tour combining archaeology, nature and flavours. Accompanied by cycling guide Angelo, you will admire up close the majesty of the Temple of Concordia, the ancient necropolis and the historic gardens, where the produce of the land is harvested and served super-fresh on your plate at the end of the tour.
We will then enter an enchanting garden of medicinal plants, a fragrant oasis steeped in ancient knowledge and therapeutic virtues. The dirt roads will take us through olive groves, almond groves and fields of ancient grains, emblematic of precious biodiversity and local cuisine. Every stretch is an encounter with history and with the land.
The route continues to the historic centre of Agrigento, where the soul of the city is revealed among alleyways, churches and timeless atmospheres. Here, we will stop for an exclusive food tasting of pistachio couscous, whose ancient recipe has been guarded for centuries by the nuns of a local convent. We will ride up to the Cathedral in the highest part of the city, from where you can admire an unforgettable panorama.
The descent will take us back through the ancient Arab quarter of Rabato, with its popular charm and forgotten stories.
The bike tour (about 15 km in total) lasts 3 hours, with 1 hour and 15 minutes in the saddle on mixed routes that are accessible to those with a minimum level of familiarity with cycling.
The experience culminates at the table, back at Casa Diodoros, where a delicious light farm-style lunch/dinner awaits you, served in the shade of the olive trees or in the air-conditioned dining room:
1 typical starter, 1 pasta dish of the day, water. All prepared with local organic products, grown and cooked according to tradition in an elegant farmhouse nestled in the valley.
A perfect balance between culture, nature, activity, and flavour. A day to be experienced with all the senses.
A tailor-made, private and exclusive experience awaits you!
