Cycling Malta to Sicily & Linosa: 11-DayBikepacking Adventure (Part 2)

Part Two of the Mediterranean Bicycle Tour ​After a detour to the volcanic isolation of Linosa, the journey returns to Sicilian soil at Porto Empedocle. In this feature-length 45-minute chapter, the route turns southward and inland, tracing sun-baked coastal roads before climbing steadily into the dramatic limestone hills of Ragusa and the historic hilltop town of Chiaramonte Gulfi. ​With unexpected hardware failure sidelining the primary action camera, this entire leg was captured entirely on mobile and drone—offering a raw, intimate, and unfiltered perspective of the landscape. Along the way, the road threw down a serious mechanical challenge: a sudden breakdown in the middle of nowhere that would have sent most people into a panic. Armed with patience and resolve, getting the rig sorted and back on the trail solo stands as one of the proudest moments of the trip, leading right into the final stretch of open-air exploration before the ferry ride home. ​Whether you're here for the climbs, the descents, or just the quiet rhythm of the pedals, settle in for a long-form ride through southern Sicily.
