About this tour

What to expect
You'll start with a short assessment of your riding ability, then head out from Sant'Agata towards the chapel of San Sebastiano, passing through compact stone villages and past old communal washing areas. The route climbs steadily through terraced olive and vine plantings, then opens onto ridge trails where you stop to take in the sweep of islands and mainland peaks. Pineta Le Tore, the highest point, offers extended views in multiple directions before the descent back. Expect a steady pace with a mix of shaded forest and exposed ridge sections. Terrain is mixed—cobbled village stretches, packed earth tracks, and open grassy ridges.
