Cycling in Aci Trezza is an easy and pleasant way to enjoy the Sicilian coast at your own pace. From the very first pedal stroke, you'll be skirting the sea, crossing lively little streets and discovering superb views of the famous Cyclops Rocks. The atmosphere is authentic, with fishing boats, sunny terraces and the scent of local cuisine.

The ride is equally suited to curious travellers, families and photo enthusiasts. A leisurely drive will take you to nearby villages, where you can enjoy a gelato break, or stop on a promontory to admire Etna in the distance when the sky is clear. Mornings and late afternoons are often the best times: soft light, more bearable heat and quieter traffic.

For a successful outing, bring water, sun cream and a cap, especially in summer. An anti-theft device is useful if you plan to stop several times. As for the itinerary, prefer coastal roads and small side streets, which are more pleasant than fast roads. And don't forget to pack a light layer of clothing: the sea breeze can be surprising, even in warm weather.

Finally, don't forget to leave a little time for wandering: Aci Trezza can be enjoyed both by bike and at a standstill, to the rhythm of the waves and the people you meet. At €15 a day, it's a practical option for exploring the surrounding area without restraint and experiencing the coast up close.
