Our cycling tour of southwestern Turkey kicks off in Dalyan. The quaint fishing town is surrounded by natural and ancient beauty - the meandering River Dalyan lead from the town through the marshes to the golden sands of Iztuzu Beach, while above the town, the Lycian rock tombs are cut into the towering cliff face. The ancient city of Caunos is also just a short walk or boat ride away. There are no activities planned for today, so you're free to arrive at any time. If you'd like an airport transfer, you'll need to arrive into Dalaman Airport (DLM), which is a 30-minute drive from Dalyan. For those arriving in time, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception at 6pm for a welcome meeting and the opportunity to go out for dinner. For those who miss the meeting, our tour leader will catch you up as soon as possible.

Great tour leader and itinerary. Was harder than expected. Others with more cycle tour experience than me suggested it should be rated moderately difficult, not moderate.
A great trip, a couple of steep climbs, should be ok for someone with good general fitness. Ali our guide was extremely good, knowledgeable and always ready to answer our questions about Turkey and the historic sites we visited.
I enjoyed the mix of cycling and other activities. Ali was the best! So knowledgeable about every aspect of culture and history, concerned about everyone's welfare and just generally personable. A couple of "heads ups" to potential customers--the route is challenging, so if you think you might struggle on long climbs, think about the e-bike option. But be sure you know that you can get a bike that fits you. The only thing that detracted from the trip for me was that the bike was dangerously large for me!
The tour leader was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. His knowledge on the sites we visited was immense.
This is a great holiday apart from the Mid week village stay where the food and accommodation is below acceptable standards. We also had a lot of issues with the bicycles which were poor quality. However, despite this the cycling routes were great as was our guide and overall it was a great experience.
