Italy doesn't need an introduction. The country has everything : a wealth of culture, idyllic villages and historical cities. An impressive coast line, slumbering volcanoes and the landscapes of "La Dolce Vita".
Except the impressive history of the Greeks, Etrusks, Romans and other peoples, Italy has also a very rich cycling past with famous names like Bartali, Coppi and Pantani. They competed on the climbs of the Apennines, the majestic Dolomites and on the flanks of the Stelvio.
Bike Dreams combines all attractive sides of Italy; on the one hand an extraordinary varied bicycle journey with rolling hills, scenic roads and challenging climbs. On the other hand rest days in the neighbourhood of historical attractions such as Pompeii, Rome, Florence and Venice. Besides these places the route passes several other less known cities, villages and regions, which certainly deserve a
visit.
