What you can expect

Let yourself be guided on an exclusive and immersive experience among the treasures of Agrigento, where every pedal stroke tells a storey and every stop smells of authentic Sicily.

A ride through the picturesque beauty of Agrigento will tell you about the local area. A tasting in the heart of the Valley of the Temples will let you savour it.

The e-bike portion lasts about 2.5 hours, and upon returning to the starting point, the Casa Diodoros culinary experience begins.

Our adventure begins at Casa Diodoros, in the heart of the Valley of the Temples. From here, riding powerful professional e-bikes (E-EXPL 700), you will begin an evocative tour through archaeology, nature, and flavours. Accompanied by the cycle-guide Angelo, you will get a close-up view of the majesty of the Temple of Concordia, the ancient necropolis and the historic gardens, where the produce of the land is harvested and served fresh on your plate at the end of the tour.

We will then enter an enchanting garden of medicinal plants, a fragrant oasis full of ancient knowledge and therapeutic powers. The dirt roads will lead us through olive groves, almond groves and fields of ancient grains, emblematic of precious biodiversity and local cuisine. Each stretch is an encounter with history and the land.

The route continues to the historic centre of Agrigento, where the soul of the city is revealed among alleys, churches and timeless atmospheres. Here, we will stop for an exclusive tasting of pistachio couscous, whose ancient recipe has been preserved for centuries by the nuns of a local convent. We will go up to the Cathedral, 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 working-class charm and forgotten stories.

The bike tour (about 15 km in total) lasts 3 hours, with 1 hour and 15 minutes in the saddle on mixed routes that are accessible to those with a minimum level of familiarity with cycling.

The experience culminates at the table, back at Casa Diodoros, where a delicious and hearty country lunch awaits, served in the shade of the olive trees or in the air-conditioned dining room:
3 typical starters, 1 first course of the day, water, wine and fresh fruit will refresh your body and mind.
Everything is prepared with local organic products, grown and cooked according to tradition in a refined rural house nestled in the Valley.

A perfect balance between culture, nature, activity, and taste. A day to be experienced with all senses.

A tailor-made experience in a PRIVATE and EXCLUSIVE format awaits you!
