Along the coast you will see further highlights like the bird and wildlife sanctuary \u201eOasi di Vendicari\u201c, the fishing village of Marzamemi, and the small islands of Capo Passero and Isola delle Correnti.<br \/>\nThe route follows mainly less frequented secondary roads. Most of the parts are flat, some are light uphill sections, but still easy to manage. This tour is suitable for all healthy persons with a little bit of bike practice. Depending on your personal preference and fitness, some days you will be able to choose between two different tracks varying in elevation profile and\/or distance covered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4159,"template":"","tour_category":[258],"tour_destination":[460,491],"tour_type":[366,367,371,368,370,375,397,369,373,372,403,482,378,436,384,386,391],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour\/3609"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tour"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tour_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour_category?post=3609"},{"taxonomy":"tour_destination","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour_destination?post=3609"},{"taxonomy":"tour_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.funactive.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour_type?post=3609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
