Things to do in Palermo, Sicily: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals
Palermo is an urban melting pot characterized by history and culture so diverse that it often feels conflicted. Discover an intriguing range of architectural styles, from Arabian domes to baroque buildings, and enjoy delicious cuisine that spans a variety of origins. Be sure to visit the Palace of the Normans, the Palatine Chapel and the church of St. John of the Hermits. Art and music lovers won’t want to miss the Galleria d’Arte Moderna (the “GAM”), the Salinas or an opera or ballet at the Teatro Massimo.

I had a rough time finding a good place to find quality road bikes but once I found sicicla it was really smooth. The bikes are rented at a fair price (20/30€ a day for bikes worth 1000-2000€) with all the equipment needed (lock, helmet). They have an impressive collection of bikes which is waiting for a post Covid summer. The owner is a really nice guy who provided me with a great tour (Monreale and the coast) with breathtaking views. I also went to Cefalu that I can’t recommend more. The coastal roads of Sicily are a great fit for road bikes!

We have done 600km in 6days(Palermo-Messina-Catania-Gela-Agrigento) without any technical issues with bikes except one flat tyre. Fortunately we had all equipment needed to fix that from rental owner. Beware of cactus on the way. You can combine your bike trip with trains which have bikes racks.

We had the great pleasure of booking a self-guided bike tour of the southeastern portion of Sicily through Ciclabili Siciliane. It isn't easy to find a tour company that suits your personality and your budget, but for us, this was it. Danuta was responsive, patient, and helpful from the start. She customized our itinerary, answered a million questions, and consistently made us feel like we had entrusted our holiday to the right company. That would prove to be true; we enjoyed the routes, the accommodations (a mix of small-to-mid-sized hotels and B&Bs), the restaurant/attraction recommendations, and even, grudgingly, the app. The bikes were super-clean and well-maintained (thank you, Giovanni). They went above and beyond by rescuing a lost item and having it delivered it to our next hotel and indulging our want of a bit more sightseeing time in Siracusa. Our only regret was that we could not have spent more days and visited more of the smaller villages, but the siren song of the Aeolians was too powerful. We wish them great success but hope they forever maintain that personal touch. Grazie mille, Danuta + Giovanni!
