Turkey Expedition
Cross continents on two wheels - from Cappadocia's lunar valleys to the Aegean coastline.
An expedition between two continents
Twelve days across landscapes that change every morning. Lunar valleys carved by wind, mountain passes painted with pine, ancient ruins waking up at sunrise, and a coastline that rewards every twist of the throttle. You ride. We handle everything else: vetted hotels with secure parking, a chase vehicle, a local lead rider, and a route built by people who actually rode it - twice.
- Sunrise launch over the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia
- Twisties through the Taurus mountains
- Aegean coastline stops at boutique seaside hotels
- Local lead rider + support vehicle every day
