Mountain Bike Tours in
Cappadocia
Program:
With its ever-changing panorama and softly rolling roads, the region
is ideal for mountain biking. In Cappadocia, every turn in the road
brings new sights and scenes, both historic and natural, for the
biker. Mountain bikes are rapidly supplanting horses, donkeys and
four-wheel drive vehicles for both the local people and tourists.
Going through
Urgup, Goreme and Zelve, the open air museum of churches and hermit
dwellings hewn out of the naked rock, and the rock pinnacles pierced
with the apertures of doors and windows. In the heat of summer,
cyclists can cruise along in a comfort not offered by cars and
coaches. And they do not have to abandon their vehicles when the
roads narrow to paths. The number of cyclists is therefore steadily
rising in the region. Cappadocia which has been featured in several
