After meeting the guide and collecting the bike we leave from Castellammare and will travel along country roads in a mix of wild stretches and endless rows of vineyards.
We will arrive at the castles of Inici and Baida of which unfortunately only a few ruins remain. We will continue up to the village of Visicari and immediately afterwards, downhill with breathtaking views, up to the village of Scopello, a delightful village that develops around an ancient 17th century baglio, now home to cafes, shops and boutiques. From the viewing area, which dominates the entire gulf, we will enjoy the view of the tuna fishery located on a cove guarded by two sea stacks.
