Overview

This road cycling tour takes you to a network of backroads that link mountainous olive groves with paradise beaches and rugged coastal peninsulas. It gives you a chance to experience the true beauty and character of Turkey’s less-developed seaside areas, far away from the hustle-bustle of modern life. The tour follows a relatively hilly pathway through a patchwork of sights, sounds and tastes, and enjoy a relaxing yet challenging tour in a setting of natural wonder. You’ll stay in small, boutique hotels in wonderful locations, and eat delicious food in authentic restaurants. Much more than a cycling holiday, this is a true experience of Aegean life, and you will go home healthy and happy. The guided tours and many of the supported self-guided programmes are led by a local professional cycling guide with excellent English and an encyclopedic knowledge of the area. Not only will you learn a great deal and enjoy his warm, calm and well-humoured company, but he will ensure that dining experiences are perfectly tailored to your tastes, and you will relish the fresh, healthy food that (when done properly) makes the Aegean kitchen so special. Food is definitely a highlight of this tour! The self-guided option lets you explore Turkey by bike at your own speed, leaving plenty of time for sightseeing, time on the beach, or lazy mornings by the hotel poo. A comprehensive route map, tour itinerary, and GPS files will be supplied, so navigation is easy too! Self-guided and private groups can request a longer or shorter itinerary if required. This guided cycling tour is always run as a private tour for your group only. This tour can be customized for you, and prices depend on group size, room types, trip customizations, and date of travel.
