Surprising stretch of coastline shaped by fire, the coastline close to Mount Etna volcano offers extraordinary views where nature blends spectacularly with archaeological and architectural treasures, evidence of the area's rich history. Its unparalleled symbol is, of course, Taormina, nestled on a natural terrace 200 m above sea level: a rare combination of history, sea and nature. North of Taormina, Letojanni is a renowned coastal resort. The town overlooks the gulf and enjoys a mild climate year-round and abundant sunshine that warms the beaches and makes the waters of the Ionian Sea sparkle. The beaches are a mix of fine sand and small pebbles and extend all the way to Taormina.
Thanks to the variety of the Sicilian cycling environment, it is possible to travel to Sicily as often as you like and have a completely different experience each time.
LET'S BEGIN WITH YOUR FIRST ONE!
Postcards from Letojanni
Cycle the volcano
Do you fancy a bike ride to the highest active volcano in europe?
You can challenge the Etna from the Southern slope choosing between five climbs (Zafferana, Nicolosi, Pedara, Ragalna or Biancavilla) or choosing between the two climbs on the Northern slope (Linguaglossa or Fornazzo).
A ride you can't refuse!
Riding in Sicily makes you discover lots of special places, like the lovely village of Savoca. Good for Francis Ford Coppola, is good for us too. So let's have a cappuccino break at this picturesque location from the Godfather movie. The Vitelli bar has remained unchanged since the seventies.
Cycle among the vineyards
A relaxing ride through the vineyards of Mount Etna, the walls of lava stones, and the terraces where the grapes are cultivated before becoming a delicious Etna Wine.
What they tell about us

In early November 2022, my wife and I rented some road bikes from Simon. We brought our own pedals, shoes, and helmets. Simone is very friendly and personable. He set us up with two pro-level Canyon bikes with Shimano groupsets. We spent a few minutes discussing fitness levels, types of rides we like, etc. He mapped out a couple of ~60k rides with a lot of fun climbing and descending through low/no-traffic areas that were incredibly scenic with beautiful small hillside villages, landscapes, and citrus and olive orchards. It was a fantastic experience enhanced by the excellent bikes. I highly recommend Simone and his company for an excellent cycling experience we would have never found by ourselves without finding him.

Fantastic and unique experience! We rented the bikes which were of very good quality and in perfect order. Simone was very friendly and helpful. We got all the necessary kit including his own bike computer with bespoke gpx routes. All the recommended routes were very scenic and difficulty grades matched our fitness level. I can't praise his service high enough. He deserves more than 5*!!!

I can only confirm all positive reviews. Excellent service and very decent bikes in perfect condition. Everything was hassle-free. Thanks, Simone! If you are coming to Sicily and want to rent a bike, look no further! :) 10/10 stars!

Saying that this bike rent is great is like saying nothing. Simone's shop is the only place in Sicily to rent bikes from. Not only does he provide the top Canyon carbon bikes on a very competitive price but he is extremely helpful, flexible and super nice. Before our trip Simon created customized routes for every day of our rent. He delivered the bike in the morning already adjusted to the specs I had sent. I was even able to text him from the route with some questions and I got the answers immediately. We are coming back next year for more!

An amazing experience - have rented road bikes all over world and this was my best ever experience in over 15 years - Bike was excellent - high end/high quality / climbing gearing / disk brakes and Simone, the owner, set up perfectly in advance with my bike measurements. Value / price was actually quite cheap. Simone could not have been more helpful - gave me great cycling routes / advice and picked up and delivered bike from Taormina. Was a great guy. The cycling here is also just amazing ! 6 star experience and left with lots of smiles (and tired legs)
