A single group transfer from Antalya Airport will be provided on Day 1 of the itinerary. A single group transfer back to Antalya Airport is also provided on the final day of the holiday.

Hotel details and an emergency contact number will be provided with your booking confirmation.

Breakfasts are included from Day 2 to Day 8. You will pay directly for your lunches and dinners. The local guide will help choose cafes and tavernas each day for your lunches and dinners. Part of the overall holiday experience will be finding a local restaurant and choosing your evening meal.

Many places on this holiday have drinkable water from the tap to fill your personal water bottles. Please check with the leader at the various locations. Please take purification tablets or a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) for days when drinking water out of the tap is not available. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles.

Turkish food is amongst the finest in the world and you will have plenty of opportunity to sample fresh local produce, as well as enjoying traditional Turkish mezzes. Breakfasts in hotels will usually consist of fresh baked bread, butter, jam and/or honey, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, yogurt, preserved meat, fruit juice, eggs, and tea or coffee. This is most often set out as a buffet. Lunches will usually be taken in a local cafe and dinners in a restaurant close to the overnight accommodation. Main courses range from simple grilled meats to elaborately baked fish and meat casseroles and there are also plenty of delicious vegetarian options. Those with a sweet tooth must try the famous Turkish baklava, which is layered filo pastry, stuffed with almond paste or pistachios steeped in syrup.

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide special diets.  Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your diet with food/snacks from home.  If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice.  Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

During this trip the group will spend 7 nights in comfortable family run hotels. All accommodation is allocated on a twin-sharing basis. If you are travelling by yourself you will be paired up with another single client of the same gender. Depending on availability it may be possible to book a single room for the hotel nights. Please contact our office for a quote.

The trip will be led by an experienced local English-speaking cycling guide and there will also be a full-time support vehicle and driver.

Approximately £300 (or the equivalent in euros or dollars) should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses including non-included meals, your bar bills and tips for the support crew. If you intend to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly. Turkey’s unit of currency is Turkish Lira. By far the easiest way to obtain your travel cash is from ATM’s using a credit or debit card. ATM’s are available only in the larger towns we visit e.g. Antalya, Cirali, Finike, Kas. Credit cards can be used to purchase goods and services in some shops, hotels and restaurants in Turkey.

Tips do not form part of the wages of local staff but they are very much appreciated. It is important to remember that tipping is voluntary and should be dependent on good service. We recommend that tips to your local guide and driver are given at the end of the trip by the group as a whole. The actual amount of the tip is up to you but again this is best decided by the group as a whole and as a rough guide, a contribution from each group member of around £10 – 15 (in local currency equivalent) should provide a suitable pool for tips.

Bikes are provided locally within the cost of the holiday. Our agent in Lycia provides 21-gear Specialized Sirrus V hybrid bikes. The bikes come in a full range of sizes, they are well maintained and in good condition. They are fitted with flat pedals and fast-rolling tyres. You can take your own pedals and even your saddle if you wish. These will be fitted for you. Please provide us with your height when you book, so we can make sure you get a bike of the appropriate size.

Throughout this trip we have the back up of one or more support vehicles. Each morning our main baggage will be loaded onto the support vehicle which will follow the group on the day's ride. The local biking leader and the support vehicle driver will watch over the group and will carry mobile phones, allowing you to contact them in the case of a breakdown or other incident. The support vehicle will pick up any group members who wish to take a break from cycling at any time.

We recommend that you travel with one main item of luggage, such as a holdall or wheelie-bag, as well as a small day pack or mountain bike-specific hydration pack. The day pack can be used to carry valuable items such as cameras and GPS devices whilst travelling and will also carry your day-ride essentials during the rides.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
