Let yourself be guided on an exclusive and immersive experience among the treasures of Agrigento, where every pedal tells a story and every stop smells of authentic Sicily.
A bike ride through the picturesque beauty of Agrigento will tell you about the area. A tasting in the heart of the Valley of the Temples will let you savor it.
The e-bike part lasts about 2 hours and 30 minutes. When you get back to the starting point, the Casa Diodoros culinary experience begins.
Our adventure kicks off at Casa Diodoros, right in the heart of the Valley of the Temples. From here, riding powerful professional e-bikes (E-EXPL 700), you'll embark on a fascinating tour of archaeology, nature, and flavors. Accompanied by the cycle-guide Angelo, you'll get a close-up view of the majestic Temple of Concordia, the ancient necropolis, and the historic gardens, where the earth's bounty is harvested and served fresh on your plate at the end of the tour.
We'll then venture into an enchanted garden of medicinal plants, a fragrant oasis brimming with 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 the land.
The route continues towards the historic center of Agrigento, where the city's soul is revealed through its alleyways, churches, and timeless atmosphere. Here, we'll stop for an exclusive tasting of pistachio couscous, whose thousand-year-old recipe has been kept for centuries by the nuns of a local convent. We'll climb up to the Duomo, 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 1h15m in the saddle on mixed routes that are accessible to those with a minimum of familiarity with the bike.
The experience culminates at the table, again at Casa Diodoros, where a tasty and rich peasant lunch awaits you, served in the shade of the olive trees or in the air-conditioned room:
Three typical appetizers, one first course of the day, water, wine, and fresh fruit will refresh your body and mind.
All prepared with local organic products, grown and cooked according to tradition in a refined rural house nestled in the valley.
A perfect balance of culture, nature, activities, and taste. A day to experience with all your senses.
A tailor-made experience in a PRIVATE and EXCLUSIVE formula awaits you!
