About
A 70 km spiritual route through Sicily, where coastal paths meet rolling hills. Starting in Castel di Tusa, where the salty breeze mingles with the scent of wild thyme, it winds toward Nicosia, a town rich with history.
Seven stages, 3,258 meters of elevation gain, and a journey through churches, chapels, and ancient monuments. This isn’t just a walk; it’s a connection to local culture and tradition.
Ideal for beginners and seasoned hikers alike, it invites you to find clarity amid the landscapes. Spring and autumn reveal the route’s true beauty.
