You will be well looked after by a professional guide and the support van is never far.

OVACIK TO COAST
The Day starts with a transfer up top the 1150m high Ovacik Plateau. From the start point we head down to Geleme village where we can visit the castle ruin of ancient Kadrema. After the great downhill through the picturesque Kesme valley we come to the pools of Kuzdere gorge where everyone can refresh in the crystal clear river. (Picnic)
The second part of the day brings us to the Black Rocks in Kuzdere. Now we have a tough climb for some sea views and the final downhill to Alacasu bay.

THE ALAKIR VALLEY
This action day starts high up in the Beydaglari Mountains, with great views of MT. Kizlarsivrisi (3070m). We roll down the Alakir valley mainly on dusty earth roads through unspoilt villages and countryside. After some river crossings, are a few climbs waiting for us. Around lunchtime we come to the fabulous waterfalls of Karaagac.
After the break we cycle up and down through great pine forests to the Village of Yaniklar, where our final 8km climb waits for us. The tour finishes in Altinyaka Village.

UCOLUK PLATEAU CROSSING
Today we transfer back to Altınyaka Village for our morning climb up to the 1550m high Ücoluk Plateau. Once arrived at the top we bike down through magical cedar forests down to Beycik Village. The second part of the route leads us from a hidden track to the Ulupinar Village (Holy spring).

MADEN BAY COASTAL RIDE
Next to the village of Ulupinar is our start point which leads us down to a deserted chrome-mine. This secret spot has a dream beach to swim. Further we continue undulating along the coast from bay to bay with great views of the three islands.
