One of my favorite cycling experiences in Europe was a week spent cruising the hills around Riccione, Italy. Riccione is located on the Adriatic Sea, 80 miles south of Venice. The hills around the area offer great cycling on well paved roads. Motorists are especially bike friendly.
Why Plan a Self Guided Bike tour to Italy
Italy is a country of cyclists. Planning a self guided bike tour to travel through Italy is an amazing idea. Self guided bike tour are significantly affordable in comparison to guided bike tours. They let you redirect your funds in areas of your priority. If your passion for food and travelling, but you are low on budget, you can economically plan a self guided bike tour to Italy. If museums and galleries are your love in life, Italy has plenty to offer. The bottom line is you can spend entirely based on your priorities.
