It is in Italy that the Sun Route really begins to live up to its name, crossing the whole country from North to South, including Sicily. The first section crosses the Val Pusteria from Prato alla Drava (San Candido) before joining the Isarco cycle path. After Bressanone/Brixen the route becomes practically flat, with apple orchards on one side and the crystalline waters of Isarco on the other. The route passes by Lake Garda and a long list of Italy’s most famous cities – Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples and follows the popular Amalfi Coast. Tour the strikingly beautiful Calabrian parks and stop at the quaint little villages along the Ciclovia dei Parchi. Before crossing the Messina Strait by ferry, do not miss the Greek masterpieces in Reggio Calabria. The Italian section ends in the Sicilian town of Pozzallo from where ferries sail to Valletta in Malta.
