Turkey Bicycle Trips

This is a brilliant cycling holiday. I particularly liked staying with a local family in a hill village and eating delicious home cooked lunches in local's houses while in the hills. It is the hilliest group cycling holiday of the many "moderate" cycling trips that I have done. An ebike option would make this an even better holiday. We went in mid September and the weather was cool in the hills and lovely and warm by the coast. Our leaders Tarkan and Ali were excellent and chose excellent restaurants for evening meals. Recommended.

Wonderful trip. Our tour leader Tarkan & Assalti were enthusiastic, informative and knowledgeable about every aspect of the cities & culture of Turkey. Both were patient with me as I was not as quick on the bike up those hills as were my fellow tour members. -Diane C

Amazing trip. The cycle routes were a good challenge, very scenic and nicely broken up by drinks breaks and lunch stops. The food on offer was often simple but delicious. Our tour leader Tarkan was very friendly and knowledgable as was our other guide Ali who shared his love for the region and its history. The trip also included some very welcome swims in the sea after some tough climbs in the heat (it was Sept but still in the 30+ degs) and the boat trip and swim at the end of one morning of cycling was a highlight. The accommodation was varied but each room was clean. We had a really friendly, fun group and enjoyed evening meals in some lovely restaurants. Highly recommended.

My first Explore holiday and definitely won’t be my last. The leaders Tarkan and Ali were amazing. Tarkan saw to our every need and was confident in his leadership and knowledge. Ali was also wonderful and had an incredibly rich knowledge of Turkish history and wildlife. Together they made a great combination. The cycling was hot, hilly and hardwork, I wd rate it at above moderate personally but a great way to see the real Turkey. Going in Oct rather than Sept cd possibly be a better option with the heat. All in all a wonderful holiday, thank you

Great tour, very varied itinerary. The tour leaders were keen to ensure we had a good experience and gave us lots of information about Turkey. Bikes need little more attention on day to day basis and service after each tour.

It was an amazing trip to take with my family had lots of fun, learnt a lot and mixed with lots of great people from around the world Still talking about the trip 1 month later to family and friends. Also love that people in the group are still catching up on whats app
