The Journey

Enduro adventure through the Taurus Mountains – Offroad Turkey from Antalya

The motorcycle trip Taurus Mountains takes you through the wild highlands of Turkey. You drive through deeply cut valleys with bizarre rock formations and canyons, crossing one river or another along the way. The ascent to a high plateau far above the tree line feels like another world. This still undiscovered enduro paradise features lonely, winding roads and less demanding nature paths – fun for all motorcyclists. After arriving in Antalya, your guide will be waiting for you at the airport. After a short transfer to the hotel, you will receive all the information about the tour and the itinerary. We load the luggage onto the motorcycles and off we go: We ride through small paths and roads to the village of Gebis near Antalya. After a break in a typical Turkish tea house, we take a winding on- and off-road serpentine road to Pinargözü at the foot of the 2,500 m high Kuyuca-dagi. At noon, we follow in the footsteps of the Apostle St. Paul in Yazili Canyon National Park, swimming in crystal-clear natural pools and enjoying freshly caught trout. Afterwards, the off-road route takes us along lonely mountain paths to Sütcüler.

With the minibus, you will travel from the hotel to the motorcycles. After a few formalities and loading the machines, your Enduro adventure in Turkey begins. On small roads, you reach the town of Gebis with its typical tea house. A winding route takes you to Pinargözü before the long gravel ascent to the 2,500 m high Kuyuca-dagi begins.

Sütcüler to Beysehir – Summit & Coast

After a hearty breakfast of local cuisine, you look out at the wild mountains of the Taurus Mountains. Desolate roads, some paved and some unpaved, take you up to about 1,400 m high.
