You start from Scilla and follow the coast north, with the Strait on your left and Sicily ahead. You pass Bagnara, the nougat town, and reach Palmi, on the terrace of the Tonnara.
The route has short but steep climbs: it suits a road or touring bike with low gears, better still an electric one.
There is traffic on the main road and in the villages: ride with care.
In August start early: the middle hours are very hot.
From Palmi you can go back to Scilla by train with your bike (check times and rules).
