Tripcode: MTK
A Mediterranean biking adventure, through the mountains and forests of the sunny Turquoise Coast
An excellent introduction to mountain biking or a relaxing break for the more experienced rider. Every day has a downhill bias of 1000m or more, all with a stunning backdrop of mountains, canyons, cedar forests and the ruins of ancient civilizations. En route there's time for picnics, swimming stops and the chance to experience the famous hospitality of Turkish village life. Our last four nights are based in the lively port town of Kas – excellent for apres-biking entertainment. With a free day, adrenaline junkies can finish the week with optional paragliding, scuba diving, or kayaking over sunken cities. Alternatively simply relax next to the Mediterranean.
