Join us on a beautiful motorcycle tour in southern Italy with incredible Mediterranean cuisine and a compelling history.
This is the oldest Italy, rich of history and art, complex and contradictory…a land with a soul.

Starting from Rome, we will have fun walking along winding, scenic, desolate roads that cut these impervious mountains like razors, the "backbone" of Southern Italy. Stop in Montecassino, home to one of the most famous Abbeys in the world, before continuing towards Basilicata. We will visit and spend the night in Matera, the city of the "Stones". We’ll then continue in an uncontaminated landscape, towards the Tyrrhenian coast until we reach Maratea, in one of the most spectacular stretches of the Tyrrhenian Sea. From here, along one of the most beautiful coastal roads in Italy, we will enter the Cilento National Park, the real surprise of this trip, a place that few people know, let's get ready for the extraordinary!! At this point, "only" Positano and the Amalfi Coast are missing. We will visit the splendid villages overlooking the sea and the ancient city of Pompeii, before returning to Rome, the "Eternal City".

Tour stages

Day 1: welcome to Rome!

Highlights: Rome

Welcome to Rome! Try to arrive a few days earlier to explore this "Eternal City", where time has stopped...those who have visited it undoubtedly define it as the most magnificent city in the world. We meet at the hotel, you will have some free time to relax or do some sightseeing before the safety briefing. Afterwards we will enjoy a welcome dinner together in a traditional Italian restaurant (Lazio regional cuisine).

Day 2: from Rome to Cassino km 257 / miles 160

Highlights: Arcinazzo plateaus, Simbruini mountains, Montecassino

We leave Rome following ring roads and a very short stretch of highway. In Tivoli, we take the ss5 Tiburtina, an ancient Roman consular road, which we will follow up to Arsoli. We follow the signs for Cervara di Roma and for the so-called road of the monasteries, that of S. Scolastica and S. Benedetto. We will cross natural parks with the usual state road that will lead us to the destination at the end of the day, Cassino, famous for the Abbey of Montecassino, one of the most famous in the world.

Day 3: from Cassino to Matera km 318 / miles 198

Highlights: ss90, the Murge, Gravina di Puglia

Long stage, the one of today. We will travel to another dimension, with the view that sweeps as far as the eye can see, the horizon limiting endless cultivated fields, the spectacular ss90, the fantastic Murge, the vision of Gravina di Puglia overlooking a limestone abyss, to end the day in Matera, the city of the Sassi, where we will have the whole day, tomorrow, to dedicate to it.

Day 4: Matera, rest day km 0 / miles 0

Highlights: Matera

In Matera, the contribution of our local guide who knows every corner will be fundamental. Only she is able to make you fall into the bowels of the city, up to the edge of the precipice, of the ravine. Today the entire site is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Matera was the location of famous films such as "The Passion" by Mel Gibson or the last chapter of the 007 saga, James Bond in "No Time To Die": In the evening, we will have dinner in a restaurant with an environment dug into the rock, warm and elegant, in which you can taste typical dishes of the Lucanian tradition.

Day 5: from Matera to Maratea km 268 / miles 166

Highlights: ss7, Dolomiti Lucane, Accettura, Sinnica, Maratea

Departure in the morning from Matera. Irsina, Grottole, Grassano, Tricarico, small villages located along the ss7, another Roman consular. There are mountains here called "Little Lucanian Dolomites", which are not "small" and we will cross them. We continue, Accettura, Grumentum, Corleto Perticara, fantastic places along the way, among different scenarios, surprising, forgotten roads, our roads, those that we hope will inspire you, to reach the end of the stage, on the sea.Maratea for the beauty of its landscapes is nicknamed “the pearl of the Tyrrhenian”.

Day 6: from Maratea to Positano km 270 / miles 168

Highlights: SS18, Cilento National Park, Di Lascio cheese factory

You leave Maratea driving along the coast, the fantastic ss18, the seaside resorts follow one another: Scario, Marina di Camerota and Palinuro, the mythical helmsman of Aeneas, after a lot of sea we now continue along the splendid internal roads of the National Park. From Montano Antilia, the highest town in Cilento, the ss18, yes always it, will give the best of itself. The last episode on the sea to touch Acciaroli and Castellabate before diving into the chaotic traffic of the Battipaglia plain. We are at the end on the Amalfi coast, the destination of the journey!

Highlights: Pompeii
