We took a short ferry from mainland Italy to Messina, Sicily and rode along the coast through many beautiful towns before turning inland to reach Scicli. The riding between Messina and Syracuse was challenging due to lots of unpredictable traffic on the coastal roads, but got a lot better once we made it to Syracuse and joined up with the EuroVelo 7.

The weather in Sicily was incredible this time of year, and we were happy to have so much sunshine after cold and windy conditions in Greece and mainland Italy.

Our route from Messina to Scicli was roughly 200 miles/322 km and took us 5 days.
