Overview

At the western end of Turkey’s Mediterranean coastline, the region of Lycia is famous for its rugged scenery, breath-taking beaches, hidden bays, fantastic food, welcoming people and dependable sunshine. In short, it’s the perfect place for a week of not-too-challenging cycling. We start our adventure from Antalya and, heading west, enjoy 6 days of memorable cycling along the ‘Turquoise Coast’, one of the most stunning stretches of shoreline in Europe.


En route we’ll see archaeological treasures such as Ancient Olympos, the former Lycian capital of Limyra and the sunken Greek city of Dolchiste on the Island of Kekova. We’ll also take every opportunity for a swim at a succession of idyllic beaches and to stop for coffee at harbour-side cafes and restaurants. Staying in small family run hotels means we will also get to experience something of the real Lycia. Cycling on quiet coastal and mountain roads, this is a great holiday for any cyclist looking for a week in the sun.

LEISURE CYCLING. This holiday provides a reasonably leisurely exploration of a part of Turkey’s lovely Turquoise Coast, with lots of time to visit places of interest (including a number of important archaeological sites) and several opportunities to swim in the sea and to stop off for coffee at wayside cafes in the villages and towns that we pass through. Cycling for an average of just 38 kilometres each day with only moderate amounts of ascent and descent, we can expect to be on our bikes for rather less than 4 hours on each of the 6 cycling days. Most of the cycling is on quiet backroads which are well-surfaced, but there could also be some short sections of dirt-road which the hybrid bikes (provided) cope very well with.  An experienced local tour guide cycles with the group throughout the trip and there is also a full-time support vehicle. This is a suitable holiday for anyone who includes cycling amongst their leisure activities. HIRE BIKE INCLUDED.

Why KE?

Travelling with KE you don't have to worry about picking up your hire bikes (included), or managing the hotel check-ins, or wondering how the baggage transfers work, or deciding where's the best place to eat in the evening. All of this is taken care of and your guide will also be able to provide a local's perspective on the things that you see on each day's ride.
