The combination of Taormina and Giardini Naxos offers unique opportunities for an MTB camp. Taormina, with its hilly location and proximity to challenging trails in the areas of Etna and the Peloritani Mountains, presents an excellent challenge for cyclists seeking technical paths and spectacular climbs with sea views. In contrast, Giardini Naxos, located at the foot of Taormina and offering flatter terrains along the coast and numerous paths through citrus groves, provides ideal conditions for lighter training and recovery rides. Additionally, the rich cultural and tourist offerings of both locations guarantee attractions beyond cycling, and the proximity of the beaches in Giardini Naxos allows for relaxation after intense workouts. It’s an ideal combination of mountain challenges and seaside leisure for every MTB enthusiast.
