Local tips
- If you are unsure about the distance, pick an e-bike: you enjoy the ride, not the climb.
- Ride the coast road towards Santa Cesarea in the early morning, as there is little shade and traffic grows by late morning in summer.
- In August arrive at Baia dei Turchi and the Alimini beaches early, as parking fills quickly.
