Cross-country
cycling and mountain
biking are
quickly gaining popularity in Turkey.
In July 2007, Turkey hosted the UCI
European Mountain Biking Cross-country
Championships to fulsome praise.
Manavgat, near Side on
Turkey's Mediterranean
coast, is the setting for the opener
to the 2008 UCI Mountain Bike Marathon
World Cup.
The Cross-country Championships were
organized excellently by Argeus
Tourism & Travel,
not in small part because Mr Aydin
Ayhan Güney of Argeus
is an ardent mountain biker and an
organizer of the annual June Cappadocia
MTB Festival. Argeus organizes a full
array of mountain bike tours of
Cappadocia,
from half-day to 8-day. More...

Conditions
The surface tends to be fairly rough crushed-stone
asphalt, not the best for cycling, but certainly
bearable to an experienced cyclist. More...

Camping
Although you will find it possible to camp rough
(ie, just stop somewhere in the countryside and
pitch a tent), I'd save it for special
occasions and emergencies.

Bus, Train & Ship
Transport
You can usually have your bike shipped as
baggage aboard inter-city buses, trains, ships and ferryboats when
the need for speed and/or comfort arises. More...
Repairs & Spare
Parts
You may find them in the big cities,
but you should bring
the most likely-needed spares with you.
