What's this trip about?

    Our Turkey mountain bike tours explore the heart of one of Turkey's most impressive and unusual regions. Cappadocia is a land of underground cities and Roman ruins, deep canyons and snow-capped mountains, fairy chimneys (unique rock formations) and stone villages. We'll bike this region of Turkey via winding trails that take us along rivers, into canyons, over small mountain passes, and through traditional farming villages. With about 80% of our trails off-road, we're able to get off the beaten path to explore the 'real' Turkey, while still taking in Cappadocia's most famous sights. At the end of each day we'll reward ourselves with stunning accommodation (including a luxury cave hotel that dates back to the 5th century) and delicious Turkish cuisine. Thanks to full van support during our Turkey bike tours, this 7-day tour is suitable for most riders, although you should have some prior mountain biking experience
