Bike tour to Turkey

While in Ukrane it's still cold, in Antalya you can ride a bicycle at full swing. Bike tour in Antalya takes places 2000 km to the south! The oranges are ripened and the sea is getting warm. Antalya is a mountain land along the sea, so it has exciting views, stunning descends, exhausting ascends, antique cities and deep canyons, pure rivers and unbelievable blue Mediterranean sea. You'll see Lycian tombs, more than 3 000 years old, amphitheaters, where people entertain before Christ. Travelling in Turkey by bike, you'll see its inner "not touristic" world, that is much more colorful than its sleek hotels and beaches. We sleep in tents, get to Turkey by bus or by airplane (maintenance of bus with all the baggage).
