The Lycian Coast of southwest Turkey is an area steeped in history and blessed with incredible natural beauty. Explore the rugged ‘Turquoise Coast’ from Bodrum to Fethiye, staying aboard a traditional Turkish Gulet, your home for the week. You’ll travel between picturesque coves, traditional fishing villages and historical ruins nestled in the hills. The tombs carved from the cliffs at Dalyan and the stunning Saklikent Canyon are just two of countless highlights on this fascinating tour.
Cycle on quiet secondary roads, most of which are sealed, taking you along the coast and inland through the hills. Expect some steep climbs but fantastic views at every turn. the E-bikes will help you with the climbs, or there’s always the option to spend a day or two on the boat, soaking up the sun and swimming in the crystal clear sea.
Please note: This tour also runs in reverse order from Göcek to Bodrum on alternate weeks. Please see 'Dates and Prices' section below.
Please note that this tour is an E-bike tour.
