Experience the perfect fusion of Tuscany's iconic undulating terrain, painted with its characteristic hues and fragrances, and the captivating panorama of the Etruscan coast on this bike tour. As you embark on this cycling holiday, the scents of the Mediterranean Sea grace your senses, accompanying you along pristine white sandy shores and rugged, towering cliffs.
Enveloped by vines and shimmering olive trees, the renowned "Costa degli Etruschi" wine route beckons you. Yet, the pinnacle of this cycling expedition awaits—an exhilarating bike journey to the enchanting island of Elba. Amidst the coastal breeze, this Tuscany coastal odyssey ensures ample moments for relaxation and enjoyment.
Leaning Tower of Pisa: At the start of the tour, you should cycle around the Leaning Tower of Pisa - after all, it is one of the most famous landmarks in Italy. It is a so-called "campanile", a free-standing bell tower intended to complement the cathedral.
Over the Etruscan coast: Pine forests, almost endless sandy beaches and steep coasts - days 4 and 5 of the tour along the Tuscan coast are all about the 90 km long "Etruscan Riviera". Incidentally, some of the small bays leading to the port of Piombino can only be reached by sea.
The wine village of Bolgheri: Not only one of the most beautiful places in Tuscany but also known worldwide for its excellent wines (e.g. the Sassicaia). Tip: Italy's longest avenue of cypresses in front of the gates of Bolgheri is also worth a break and a snapshot.
Sandy beaches of Elba: The last day of the trip begins with a ferry ride to the island of Elba, where you can once again enjoy the sea after many kilometres of cycling. Incidentally, the water quality around the island is considered excellent.
The route primarily offers a flat to gently undulating terrain, with the exception of two more demanding segments that traverse the hinterland. You'll find that nearly all of the cycling paths are paved with asphalt, while certain sections alongside the sea guide you along well-kept, rustic trails. Regrettably, due to the absence of cycle paths in specific areas, there will be brief stretches where cycling on roads with moderate traffic becomes a necessity.
