Enduro hiking on the Mediterranean and Antiquity

After about 3 hours of flight, we welcome you at the airport. The travel time to the hotel is about 20 minutes. During a cozy dinner, we will discuss the program for the week.

From our boutique hotel in Elmalı, we are soon on the charming, winding ascent to Akdag. Before reaching the tree line, the gravel path begins and takes us to a mountain lake. Here, we take a tea break at a farmer's place, admire the beautiful highland scenery of the Taurus Mountains, and watch the colorful activities of the shepherds with their animals. We reach another small town in the mountains via gravel paths and can look forward to fresh trout. The rest of the journey on asphalt takes us through forests and impressive natural beauties to a small ancient town called Kibyra, where we visit the ancient 200-meter-long stadium, which once accommodated 10,000 spectators. Then the asphalt road leads past more ancient towns, through more small villages and fruit areas to the oldest city of the Lycians, Tlos. Afterwards, we drive the last stretch on gravel paths to our boutique hotel in Cameli.

We briefly navigate through the city traffic before we are back on the coastal road of Fethiye Peninsula. Along the way, we make several photo stops to capture the indescribable landscape and idyll before reaching the town of Kayaköy, in the province of Lycia. It is a ghost town that serves as a museum village. Here we experience history; this place was last inhabited by Greek Christians and was almost completely depopulated during World War I. During a tea break, we learn a lot about this place. Exiting the ghost town, we ascend with our motorcycles to Mount Babadag, which rises about 2000 meters high. Here we will paraglide, as the thermals are very good due to the proximity to the sea. A breathtaking view awaits us before we ride through forests on gravel paths towards the coast. We reach the town of Patara, which according to legend is said to have been founded by Patarus, a son of Apollo. Once, it was the most important port city of the Lycians and the birthplace of St. Nicholas. Back on the coastal road, we continue to the small town of Kas, which was originally a fishing village. Today, it is a focal point for divers and tranquility seekers, as the turquoise sea and the numerous small cafes and bars are very inviting.

The day begins again with a hearty breakfast on the hotel terrace, with a beautiful final view and idyllic atmosphere. A good opportunity to discuss the route we will take to Antalya. We leave Kas, and after just a few kilometers, we drive once more along the enchanting coastal road, with the waves of the turquoise Mediterranean below us, the mighty Taurus Mountains above us, and curves upon curves, each hiding a different panorama that will amaze us. Our last lunch will again be prepared by a village family. Of course, we will not take away from you the opportunity to ride off-road one last time on the final day. Upon arriving in Antalya, we return the motorcycles, and you will be driven to the hotel. During a final group dinner, we may already miss the time spent on the coastal roads or in the Taurus Mountains.
