With our custom-designed trailer we are ready to take you and the bikes anywhere, although we have some favorites we would like to share with you. We select routes according to the season and do not force you to pedal up hill (much) in the hottest months! The best times of year for biking are spring (April-June) and autumn (September and October)
On all trips we provide bikes, helmets and an English-speaking guide.
YUVARLAK RIVER ONE-DAY
Ideal for those based in the Dalyan area. We follow irrigation channels past village houses and fruit orchards and slowly wind uphill on tracks where we are unlikely to meet another vehicle. There are opportunities to cool off in streams but you are sure to swim at lunch time while you wait for your tasty meal to be cooked. There is a lot of down hill in the afternoon.
GÖKOVA EXPLORER ONE-DAY
Ideal for those based in the Marmaris or Akyaka areas. The Gökova area has a wide variety of rural landscapes to enjoy, from the eucalyptus avenues, sesame fields and traditional villages of the plain, to the shady pine forests and limestone crags of the surrounding hills.
We run these trips on demand as individual excursions (minimum 4 people) or as part of a customized itinerary
We also have mountain bikes available for rental.
