After breakfast, you will get kitted out with your motorbike hire (if needed) and set out on the road to Marsala. You will pass Capo Gallo, which marks the beginning of a marine nature reserve, before continuing along the coast. The road will eventually lead you away from the sea, but a detour will allow you to discover some of the most superb coastal landscapes.
The turquoise and transparent waters are intoxicating!
Marsala, your stop for the night, is one of the oldest sea salt harvesting operations in existence. Watch the sunset from the salt ponds, a moment that will be unforgettable.

Following your day along the coast, today the route will take you inland on small scenic roads to visit some of the villages. At Agrigento, you can discover the famous valley of the temples, which is one of the most outstanding examples of greater Greece art and architecture and is the largest archaeological site in the world. The valley includes the remains of seven temples including those of Hericles, Concordia, Juno and Zeus. For the final leg of the day's journey the road runs along the coast taking you through some wonderful fishing ports. There are two possible distances for the day's ride, depending upon whether you take the coast road or head inland.

Sicilian Baroque art and architecture is the theme of the day, not forgetting the pleasure of riding on some of the most superb back roads.
