The island’s territory has the singularity of offering within its rather limited space several different environments and landscapes. The discovery of such features, kept inside places and communities, is better fulfilled by the so-called ‘slow tourism’: a research of the most natural, unaltered and often forgotten aspects, with respect to what history gave us and what nature keeps on giving.
A number of organized itineraries has made slow tourism become an efficient practice on the island, probably also in view of an always growing request.
The value of hiking can be exceptional as a sport aimed at personal wellbeing, at all ages; especially when passion for the pure physical exercise comes along with a practice of enrichment for soul and mind.
A simple alchemy, walking also means to look, discover, and take possession of landscapes and details which are essential to the development of our emotional being.
What else if not the great natural sceneries have ever since pushed masters of painting, photography and cinema towards the right inspiration?
Hiking is then not to be meant as a simple collection of height and distances, but as discovery of the natural world and of mankind in all its expressions: from countryside to the mountains, to the coasts… and why not, as far as to the heart of the island. That of course will offer special opportunities, enriched by an endless historical background.
