A Mediterranean biking adventure in spectacular surroundings

Group ascent

Turkey offers a great introduction to mountain biking with typically dry single track or forest fire track trails for novice riders, while also providing a more relaxing break for the experienced rider. Every day has a downhill bias, with 1000m or more of descent: vehicle support to take us up to the start of the day's riding, and all with a stunning backdrop of mountains, canyons, cedar forests and the ruins of ancient civilizations. En route we have lots of time for impromptu picnics and 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, our base for great evening entertainment. Kas is comparatively unspoilt, with locally-run restaurants and bars along the marina and side streets extending in towards the town square. With a free day, adrenaline junkies can finish the week with optional paragliding, scuba diving, or kayaking over a sunken city. Alternatively, simply relax in the sun on one of the nearby Mediterranean beaches.
