Turkey Bike Tour - Cappadocia Trails

Join an active 7-day adventure in Turkey riding the Cappadocia Trails. Deep in the heart of Turkey Kapadokya, ancient volcanic eruptions dispersed thick ash, which solidified into a soft rock—called tuff—tens of metres thick. Wind and water went to work on this plateau creating a fairy tale landscape of cones, pillars, pinnacles, mushrooms, and chimneys. Thousands of years ago, humans took a cue from Mother Nature carved tunnels into the soft rock, and an underground urbanized landscape was created, living at one with nature rather than imposing upon it.

We liked our cycle guide Hami so much. We would be interested in booking him for another Turkey tour.

Our bike guide, Hami, did an outstanding job of showing us many special places of interest and beauty, and describing the cultural and historical significance of sites. As a local, he has many favourite places to see on bike, hike and stroll around villages. Every day Hami reviewed our expectations and made sure our trip dreams were met. Hami is warm and charming, attentive and a good listener. He took us to some really great restaurants, from small village eateries to lovely elegant dining. With Hami's guidance we saw some of the world's most wonderfully exotic natural beauty and experienced some of the kindest most welcoming culture. I absolutely loved this trip and love seeing the world on bike.

The team on the ground in Turkey were fantastic. Hami was a great guide and tweaked our tour to suit us. The van backup driven by Mustafa was also second to none. I would happily recommend our trip to anyone wanting to go mountain biking in Turkey.

Cappadocia is one of the most amazing places on the planet. The scenery on this bike tour is beautiful. We had a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and took us to places we would have never been able to see on our own. This tour is not to be missed. This tour exceeded my expectations

Best trip I have ever done, spectacular scenery, fun biking, excellent guide and lots of things to see along the way.

Fantastic guide with very good local knowledge, He gave excellent advice and encouragement. Also very good at adapting to weather conditions and to the group, always up for exploring things along the way.

Accomodation - Good mix with each place different but very special.

Spectacular scenery with lots of interesting things to explore!

Loved the picnics!

This was an excellent route for our group with moderate mountain bike skills. Each day brought new and unexpected treasures and as the route unfolded it could not be more enjoyable to discover ever more beautiful scenery and places of cultural interest. The riding also became more challenging as the days progressed and as we became fitter we were able to tackle more uphills with confidence. A degree of flexibility at the guide's discretion was definitely an advantage given that we were staying 2 nights in Goreme.

Jon was really good and because he could speak Turkish this enabled him to interact with local people. We even stopped to have tea with some elderly men in Baskoy and could talk with them with Jon acting as interpreter. He passed on many of his mountain biking skills as we were a small relatively inexperienced group of 3 and this enabled us to tackle single track sections with more confidence. I cannot rate Jon highly enough. Our luggage was moved on seemlessly although due to the nature of the terrain we did not see our driver except when we moved from Gaziemit to Soganli.

Three excellent picnic lunches, home cooking at Soganli and the lunch at the House of Memories at Uchisar were particular highlights, but overall excellent.

It is hard to improve on this excellent mountain bike adventure. A bit of flexibility on route changes where practical is good according to the group's wishes. Loved the scenery. There was always something new round every corner and discovering the cave dwellings and churches was a particular highlight.

Cappadocia is a very historical Place, and has a unique landscape. Five days is very well put together, the places we visited were excellent.

Hotels were good and very interesting.

This is a highly recommended tour to my friend's.
