We will travel to Tuscany. It is one of the most beautiful regions of Italy. Due to its mountains, hills, proximity to the sea, relief, mild climate, and natural beauty, it is very suitable for a cycling tour. The mountains and hills are not particularly high and sharp, but there is everything you need for a good cycling tour.
Many smooth asphalt and dirt roads. Amazing natural views, many ancient, authentic, historical towns, villages, vineyards, wineries, olive groves, taverns, great architecture. The best way to see, try, and taste all this is a bike trip organized and accompanied by a great Lithuanian cyclist living there and her Italian husband, also a cyclist. They are locals, and who else knows best where and how far to ride, what to see and what to taste. Which is very important, because you can really get lost there or not see, not find the best places and routes.
We will live in a great local family hotel. Small, but very cozy and comfortable, located in the countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, 500 m from the sea, with excellent local cuisine.
