Etna Tribe
Departure from the "Chiosco Bar Internazionale" in front of Catania Central Station.
Cycling tour along the major streets of the old town, destroyed and rebuilt nine times in the same place. This unusual feature makes Catania a city with a thousand faces. A casket with treasures dating back to different historical periods, buried and then brought to light...keeper of many secrets yet to be revealed!
We will move out from the old town along coastal roads, until we arrive at Aci Castello. The name comes from the building symbol of the village, a castle built on a lava basalt rock, originated from an underwater eruption that occurred about 500,000 years ago. The castle, the object of many legends, is now used as a Civic Museum.
We will then reach AciTrezza, a fishing village that is the background of the Isola Lachea and the Faraglioni dei Ciclopi. These lava rocks were born from the same underwater eruption from which the cliff of Aci Castello originated. Greek mythology tells that the Faraglioni were the rocks thrown by Polyphemus (the Cyclop) against Ulysse (the opera's hero) after being blinded, in the masterpiece "Odyssey". In recent times, were the setting for Verga’s novel "I Malavoglia".
After this plunge into history, we will make a stop for a swim or refresh ourselves with a granita (a local lighter alternative to the icecream).
Return to Catania city.
From November to March bike excursions can be made exclusively privately, on request.
Откройте Сиракузы на велосипеде
Наш тур начинается у Порта Марина в Ортидже (Сиракузы), где мы получим велосипеды.
После настройки велосипедов мы направимся к площади Дуомо, чтобы полюбоваться кафедральным собором Сиракуз.
Второй остановкой станет источник Аретузы, после чего мы посетим замок Маниаче. Покинув внушительный замок фридриховской эпохи, мы поедем вдоль восточной набережной, откуда увидим древние стены испанского периода.
Затем мы покинем остров Ортиджа, переехав через мост Умберто, и почти полностью по велосипедной дорожке доберёмся до старой тоннары Санта-Панагия — бывшего комплекса по ловле и переработке тунца, действовавшего до 1970 года.
Во время тура мы сделаем короткую остановку у базилики Святой Лючии, где желающие смогут увидеть картину «Погребение Святой Лючии», знаменитое произведение Караваджо.
После этого, возвращаясь к месту старта, мы сделаем короткую остановку у фонтана Артемиды на площади Архимеда, завершив тур на рынке Ортиджи.
