The local's trick

Sleeping on the island changes everything: the coves at 8 in the morning and after 6 pm are almost empty.

What to bring

  • Lightweight backpack for the bike
  • Flashlight or headlamp for the evening return
  • Water shoes
  • Sweatshirt: it gets windy in the evening

If it's windy or bad weather

  • With an easterly wind, swap the two days: first the west coast, then Cala Rossa.
  • In case of rain, bring forward the Florio Museum and move the sea to the following day.
