Want to take your bike to have a view of the beautiful Sicilian coastline, taking in some beautiful sights of the Mediterranean Sea? Here is a trip that we think you will love:
Ognina / Porto Ulisse
Along the “lungomare” of Catania, you can ride your bike on the designated bike path to arrive in Ognina and ultimately to the Porto Ulisse (Port of Ulysses), a beautiful marina where you can see the Sicilian boats and, at times, fisherman working to pull in the day’s catch.
