Tripcode: MTI
A wonderful ride contrasting the lakes of Solda and Karago with the historic temple at Ephesus - one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world
Marvel at the temple to the goddess Artemis, the ancient Anatolian city of Alabanda and cycle through the pine forests at Geynik Lake. Visit quiet villages, beautiful countryside and meet local people renowned for their charm, friendliness and hospitality. The days are varied and balanced, with plenty of flat riding and downhill stretches, and lots of time for a cooling swim in the many lakes and rivers en route. The terrain is varied but not arduous, with vehicle assistance on hand to take your luggage between a mixture of hotels and village houses along the route. The trip finishes with time to relax and unwind in the small town of Dalyan, shopping, swimming and sunbathing, or for the more adventurous, try the optional white water rafting on the local Dalyan River.
