This relatively wild and challenging journey offers a true taste of Cappadocia’s finest landscapes, history and local hospitality without being too technical or physically intense. It is available as a guided or self-guided tour. Connecting incredible historical sights, off the beaten track villages and un-missable panoramas this wonderful cycling route follows dirt tracks, quiet roads and smooth flowing off road trails. Self guided tours include full hotel to hotel luggage transportation and airport transfers, leaving you to travel light. This tour is a great choice for small groups, couples and families. We provide a self guiding pack which includes detailed map, route directions, local info, language starters, details of sights along the way, and of course a GPS file of the whole route. Evening meals are included on the first four days and lunches can be added to your package, as can hotel upgrades. Shorter or longer tours are also available, and the option to have a car and English speaking driver on hand 24/7 is also there for extra security should you wish- please let us know if you wish to add this to your package.
Covering relatively wild and challenging landscapes but with the security of a support vehicle and driver on hand in case of difficulties, the tour is a journey of discovery across much of the region including the Ihlara Canyon, Soganli Valley, and “Fairy Chimney” lunar landscape that stretches from Mustafapasa to Goreme.
