A scenic ride accompanied with a true Tuscan experience will fuel all our senses before arriving to Siena in the late afternoon or early evening.  

A beautiful medieval city of Siena offers a variety of things to do while on the rest day. Siena is likely Italy's loveliest medieval city. Siena's heart is its central piazza known as Il Campo, known worldwide for the famous Palio run here, a horse race run around the piazza two times every summer. Movie audiences worldwide can see Siena and the Palio in the James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. Siena was an important centre of painting, sculpture, and architecture, and has several notable works dating from the early Italian Renaissance. However, if you would like to spend the rest they resting on a motorbike, we will be happy to have as well a ride through the areas of Montepulciano and Montalcino providing us a great curvy roads, hills and charming small villages. 

Leaving Siena in the morning we will hit the road towards the Mediterranean coast to the port of Livorno. An enjoyable scenic road will take us through some of the beautiful Tuscan towns such as San Gimignano and Volterra and we will reach the ferry port in Livorno in the late afternoon in order to board the overnight boat that will take us to our next days of a great adventure to follow – the amazing Sardinia and Corsica. 

Early morning, we will reach Sardinia and the city of Olbia. Once on the solid ground, we will have a short coffee and hit the exciting roads of the magical Sardinia. Riding along the coast towards Arbatax, we will enjoy the motorcycle paradise full of twisty roads, beautiful sceneries and amazing local food. 

Leaving Arbatax in the morning, we will take some truly wonderful local roads through the Sardinian inlands all the way to the city of Oristano, known for its quiet but memorable charm. Our route will reveal us some of true hidden gems of Sardinian inlands, such as town of Orgosolo, famous for its murals dating from 60s of 20th century, a truly amazing UNESCO World heritage sight, then ancient Nuraghe in Losa, Roman ruins on the west coast near Oristano, a picturesque village San Salvador and amazing coastal road leading us to beautiful town of Alghero.   

Our ride continues along the beautiful shores and breath-taking views, we will enjoy the day riding the amazing coast reaching a beautiful town of Santa Teresa Gallura, a charming town surrounded with beautiful beaches and resorts. 

We will enjoy the rest, tasting delicious local cuisine, resting on some of the amazing sandy beaches and having a leisure time in one of the famous Sardinian places. Cantered around the main town square with its shops and restaurants, the territory of Santa Teresa includes rugged stretches of coastline, ancient archaeological sites, charming towns, old wartime fortifications, and dozens of beaches.  

Passing the strait of Bonifacio, the thrilling town of Bonifacio and the cliffs of Corsica will announce the amazing natural landscapes and a thrilling days that are in front of us. It is one of the must-see sights approaching by boat to the shores of Corsica. Bonifacio is on the southern coast of Corsica, separated from the Italian island of Sardinia by the 11-kilometer-long Strait of Bonifacio, which is named after the town. The two islands were once joined, but volcanic activity tore them apart, leaving huge shards of granite rock in the turquoise waters. The sea floor here is now dotted with wrecks of pirate ships and ancient vessels which crashed against the many crags, and has become a mecca for divers. There are few towns that can boast such a dramatic, seemingly precarious position as Bonifacio! Teetering perilously atop an eroding limestone promontory that juts out into the sea, east to west, for around1.5km, it has to be seen to be believed. Our journey continues alongside the amazing shores of Corsica, offering the stunning views and a wild landscape, and here we understand further why Corsica and Sardinia are often called a well-kept secret of Mediterranean.  

The stunning coastal ride between amazing rocky formations on one side at the altitude of few hundred meters above the sea level and the sea on the other side, offers one of the most beautiful rides ever experienced, particularly in the sunset time. It is a true must see and unforgettable ride you will wish to repeat. 

Our scenic ride and stunning views continue along the shore and today we will exchange it with a bit of ride into hilly inlands of Corsica. We will again get back to the coast, continue the ride and head to the Saint Florent, a beautiful coastal vacation town where we will stop for a while and continue our ride around Cap Corse (the northern peak, peninsula of Corsica). Cap Corse, the area, is known for having some of the best vineyards on the Island. Forty kilometres long and only fifteen across, the rocky peninsula of Cap Corse gives access to some exceptionally beautiful and unspoilt stretches of coast. We will reach Bastia in the late afternoon or early evening.  

Another amazing riding day is ahead of us! In the morning after breakfast we will depart Bastia and head  and board the ferry that will take us to Livorno in a 4 hour time. From Livorno we will ride to Cinque Terre where we will have a great authentic dinner in one of the towns.  

It is time for a little break in one of the most picturesque areas of the Mediterranean, a beautiful Cinque Terre. You can spend the day in visiting 5 towns Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso (there is an option to do it fast, by train from La Spezia or by boat). The views from the boat are truly amazing and since we will have enough time, this is the best option to enjoy the day to the fullest.    

From Cinque Terre to Venice, we will take one of the best Italian inland routes that will take us across the Apennine mountains. On our way we will be having an opportunity to visit the Ferrari Museum in Maranello near Modena. In the evening we will end the day with a farewell dinner in Venice.  

Depending on your flight schedule, you could enjoy a relaxing sightseeing time in Venice or simply have a coffee on Piazza San Marco. We hope to see you again soon!
