More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull on a helmet, feel the electric motor hum beneath your hands and, within minutes, the coastal breeze is pushing you along narrow roads that run between dry-stone walls and olive groves. The sea keeps time to your right, daring you to pause for a swim; inland, rolling vineyards and limestone ridges catch the light as you coast past small hamlets.
