Road Biking Holidays

Our road cycling touring holidays are aimed at road cyclists looking for both a physical challenge and a scenic voyage into Turkey’s more unknown corners. Where we ride is important- we only go to the most beautiful, diverse and most rewarding places. But in planning we also consider elements such as road surface, traffic, quality of restaurants and availability of first class accommodation. Biking in Turkey road bike tours take to the asphalt for an average of 5-6 hours a day but this can be adjusted to suit your group’s particular requirements- and there is always plenty of time to explore sites, stop to admire the view, or take a dip in the sea.

A Turkish road biking holiday isn’t necessarily the preserve of bona fide road cyclists or cycle touring experts, but we do feel that a lightweight road or touring bike ridden with proper cycling shoes and clothing will make your journey that bit more comfortable.

Getting here:+-

Unless you are coming from a neighbouring country, the easiest way to get here is by air. Turkish Airlines are the best place to go as they offer connecting flights to regional airports such as Kayseri (Cappadocia), Izmir or Dalaman (Aegean) and Erzurum (Kackar). Our parent company middleearthtravel based in Goreme, Cappadocia, is a fully affiliated Turkish Airlines sales agent and offers highly competitive prices. We can also include flights in your tour package- please email or comment on this page with your request. It’s our job to help you find the flight you need.

Travelling with your bike:+-

Whether you travel by air, sea or land, travelling with a bike can present challenges but is on the whole straightforward as long as you find out the rules and regulations from your carrier before hand! We have found the best way to fly with a bike is to package it with the minimum of cardboard so only the fragile bits are protected. That way, airport staff cn clearly see it’s a bike, and are more likely to treat it as such. Remember to let down the tyres, remove the pedals and turn the handlebars straight though! Bike boxes and purpose build carrying cases are another option. We can often store these at your arrival point. Note that we will go to all possible lengths to assist you with packing up your bike for the return journey!

Transfers:+-

We will meet the flights specified by you on the booking form but please let us know if you make any changes. Transfers are included in the price of the tour.

Vehicle Support:+-

We use high quality modern minibuses to transport passengers and baggage, plus purpose built bike trailers for the bikes. We don’t cut corners on here- on many occasions it is our only link with the outside world so we choose vehicles and drivers very carefully! The best thing about a fully vehicle supported tour is that, road network permitting, you can ride as much or as little as you like!

Visas:+-

Certain nationalities are required to purchase a Turkish visa on entering the country, others must arrange it before hand. Check out our page Travelling to Turkey and Tom Brosnahan’s Turkey Travel Planner to find out what you need! Note it is your responsibility to obtain the correct visa!
