Whether Pompeii with its ancient ruins or the 50-kilometre Amalfi Coast: from your hotel right on the Gulf of Salerno you set out on a coastal motorcycle tour with views of shimmering sea and dramatic clifftops all around.

Vesuvius and Naples

The Vesuvius Naples motorcycle tour takes you to the crater rim of the famous volcano, before continuing along the sea towards Terracina – a stage full of contrasts between volcanic fire and the Tyrrhenian coastline.

Abruzzo National Park

Along Lago del Salto the Abruzzo motorcycle tour leads through the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, past dense ancient forests and wide highland plateaus, to your hotel in the Isernia area in Molise, Italy.
