Our three motorcycle tours in Turkey range from two eight day enduro rides in the Taurus Mountains and along the Mediterranean coast, to the fifteen day Silk Road journey across East Anatolia. The Taurus and Mediterranean tours are rated for experienced off-road riders, with loose gravel, switchbacks and technical climbs. East Anatolia runs at a steadier pace, but its length and remote stretches still call for real touring experience. We don't currently run a pure beginner tour in Turkey.
You always ride one of our rental bikes in Turkey, a Yamaha XT660R or Honda CRF250L as standard, covered by liability and comprehensive insurance with a 700 euro deductible. Riders who want more machine can upgrade to a Yamaha Ténéré 700, Ténéré 600 or Honda Africa Twin 1000, for a surcharge and a deductible of up to 1600 euros. Bringing your own bike isn't an option on these routes.
On the two eight day tours you cover 160 to 200 km a day, 60 to 80 km of it gravel, close to 900 km for the week, with 7 overnight stays and breakfast included. East Anatolia spreads it differently: daily legs of 110 to 300 km over 15 days, and 15 hotel stays along the route. From 5 riders a support vehicle joins the group of 4 to 6, riding alongside your German-Turkish guide from breakfast to the overnight stop.
