Biking in Lycia

2 Week Self-Guided Bike Tour of Lycia

This itinerary includes 9 days of biking covering between 25 and 50 km per day in varied landscapes. Often you will cycle on small country roads and sometimes on the beautiful coastal road at the edge of the glistening Mediterranean Sea and its scattering of small islands. The route takes you to the never ending beach of Iztuzu, where you will find a turtle conservation project. You will also visit the stunning gorge at Saklikent, teh rock tombs and theatre at Myra and the Eternal Flames of Chimera (mentioned in Homer’s Ilyad). There are 4 days of free time where you can either relax or choose to try some other activities such as a boat tour over the Sunken City of Kekova, or looking for turtle as you cruise on the delta of the River Dalyan both trips have a great lunch on board. There is also canoeing on the river Xanthos which is very much like a scene from “The African Queen”, horse riding on the dunes of Patara, or paragliding like an eagle soaring over the turquoise bay of Ölüdeniz.
