Biking in Turkey
Mountain biking provides the ultimate off-road experience, one that allows visitors a more intimate window into traditional Turkey. The terrain above Kas takes pedalers along scenic roads, into magnificent canyons, along river streams and up into traditional, rural villages. The mountainous trails along the Lycian Way, from Antalya all the way West to Fethiye, stretch out along an idyllic and pastoral landscape, weaving between forested paths and coastal roads as it passes through the ancient relics of antiquity.
A ride through the tinted folds and ripples of Cappadocia’s storied valleys offers a challenging, exhilarating and unparalleled introduction into the history and lore of the steppes. And in the Belgrade Forest on the outskirts of Istanbul, cyclers continue to be amazed by the Roman aqueducts, the lush trails and a fabulous descent directly down to the edge of Kilyos Beach, on the Black Sea. For the true biking enthusiast, the Black Sea region, with its dense forests and rich network of national parks, provides a seemingly endless and challenging ride of a lifetime.
