Self-Guided Cycling in Turkey

The tour is 8 days long with 5 full days of cycling and 1 day (day 6) of exploring off the bikes but with a short cycle in the afternoon around the local area. So, if you count that, then the tour has 6 days of riding.

There are different levels of support offered within the 'self-guided' genre, and it should be clear that this very reasonably-priced tour promotes independence and self-reliance.  There is an expectation that you will have enough experience to adjust a saddle and attach pedals if you bring your own, and adjust seat pads yourself as an appropriate-sized bike is given to you at the commencement of the tour, but you will be expected to fit/adjust yourself.  
Note that there is the possibility to pay an additional fee to have someone help fit the bike for you so let us know if you feel this is not something you can do yourself.

You are also expected to be able to fix a puncture, release a slipped chain, tighten brake cables as the pads wear etc, as there is not help around every corner on this self-guided adventure.  Phone and WhatsApp support is offered on this tour so you may wish to download WhatsApp to your phone in advance of arrival, if you do not have it already.

You will cycle 257 km over six days (an average of 43 km per day). The roads are extremely quiet and the terrain is nicely varied; including flat and hilly sections with some steep ascents and descents. The route is graded as moderate.

The roads are fairly wide and well maintained and Turkish drivers are very kind to cyclists, making this a lovely tour to ride.

In terms of how much riding you might do each day, very roughly here are some approximations:

Day 2 - 5 hours
Day 3 - 5 hours
Day 4 - 4 hours
Day 5 - 3.5 hours
Day 6 - riding is optional, 1 hour max.
Day 7 - 3.5 hours

Helmets are obligatory in Turkey and they can be supplied if you need one at no extra charge.  Please let us know if you are not bringing your own.

Cell phone service is extremely good along the route.  Phones will work at almost all points of the itinerary. The GPS route files that you will be sent to follow do, however, work offline and all the hotels have wifi.

Yes, there is good ATM access along the route.  In Dalyan, Dalaman, Gocek, Fethiye, Patara and Kas specifically.  Cards can be used easily in most shops and restaurants so travelling with just a small amount of cash is probably best.

The electrical outlet is 220V and is the same plug adaptor as the rest of Europe.

Regarding water in Turkey -  it is drinkable but may not taste great in the bigger towns.  There are roadside springs where good water can be found and lots of shops for bottled water.

Yes, it is no problem to add on a few extra days in Kas - either with or without the bikes.  The return transfer to Dalaman airport will still be included when you are ready to leave.
