SHORT HOT SPRINGS TUSCANY BIKE TOUR

You will spend 3 days riding in the south of Siena through the Crete Senesi area where the distinctive colouration of the soil gives the landscape of sculpted curves an appearance described as lunar.

You will be based in Rapolano Terme, a natural hot springs area in the middle of the Crete.

The beauty of this Land is not only in the Landscape but also in the nature and its history: hills lined with cypress trees, vineyards, olives groves, medieval villages and historical sites.

Starting from Rapolano you will discover Pienza, San Quirico, Cortona, the Chianti area and Siena
