Day 02 - Sunday
Kemer - Konya

Our first Turkish breakfast and then we hit the road! Our destination today is Konya, which is maybe the most conservative city in Turkey! What makes it interesting, is that It’s a pilgrimage destination for Sufis with important religious sights like Alleaddin Mosque from 12th-century! In the evening we visit the historical city center but in the morning we start with a beautiful coastal ride at D400 to Kizilagaç! From there we drive up to the mountains with many curves and mountains front, back and on the sides! You will love it!
Day 04 - Tuesday
Cappadocia
Balloon - Shoes - Taxi - Bike? :) ° b
Day off, it means also Cappadocia as you like! If you are an early bird, one great thing to do is a Balloon tour. It is wonderful, however, you need to get up 0430am! Balloon tour or not, we have a local Cappadocia guide to show you the places… it’s a big area and you get more out of it with a guide. But that said, you are very much free to stroll around with your own timetable if you want! There is also naturally a lot of shopping possibilities, but we do recommend shopping for later because Cappadocia is not the cheapest place if you want something bigger.
Day 06 - Thursday
Pamukkale - Kusadasi
Bike ° 235km ° b
Today you have also a possibility to rise up when the sun is rising and fly over Pamukkale with a Hot Air Balloon! Small Pamukkale is a must also on foot, so after breakfast, we all take a barefoot walk to the white pools.
Before noon we hit road… and surprise surprise, it will be a beautiful ride also today! Our first destination is Ödemis, where we will have an afternoon coffee or with Mustafa, who is the owner and artist of Akrep Custom Bike Garage! Most of the time there is some nice building project going on!
Before Kusadasi we will have a stop at the local Handicraft Center which is also like an art gallery. This center is co-operating with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and they are also teaching women from local villages carpet weaving! However, you are not obliged to buy anything, but want to show you local traditions… and some of the carpet weavers are real artists!
We will end our great day at Turkey’s Riviera, Kusadasi, which is of the shores of the Aegean Sea!
