What's this trip about?

    Our Turkey mountain bike tours explore the heart of one of Turkey's most impressive and unusual regions. Cappadocia is a land of underground cities and Roman ruins, deep canyons and snow-capped mountains, fairy chimneys (unique rock formations) and stone villages. We'll bike this region of Turkey via winding trails that take us along rivers, into canyons, over small mountain passes, and through traditional farming villages. With about 80% of our trails off-road, we're able to get off the beaten path to explore the 'real' Turkey, while still taking in Cappadocia's most famous sights. At the end of each day we'll reward ourselves with stunning accommodation (including a luxury cave hotel that dates back to the 5th century) and delicious Turkish cuisine. Thanks to full van support during our Turkey bike tours, this 7-day tour is suitable for most riders, although you should have some prior mountain biking experience

Additional Information

Insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory for all clients whilst on a trip organized by the Company. It is mandatory that this travel insurance covers adequate personal accident, medical, evacuation and repatriation expenses, as well as cancellation, curtailment, loss of effects and all other expenses that might arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the client. Clients, together with their personal property including baggage, are at all times solely at their own risk. Clients are wholly responsible for arranging their own insurance. When purchasing insurance, clients should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of activities in their trip.

Passport, Visa and Vaccinations

It is the responsibility of the Client to be in possession of a valid passport, visa permits, inoculations and preventative medicines as may be required for the duration of the trip. Information about these matters or related items is given in good faith but without responsibility on the part of the Company. The exception to this is is on our Cuba tours, where your visa is included in the tour price.

Responsibility

You acknowledge that participating in our trips requires a degree of flexibility, and understand that the route of a trip, accommodation and modes of transport are subject to change without prior notice due to local circumstances. Should the Company deem it advisable to amend an itinerary for any reason, it may do so by shortening, varying or re-routing any trip. These changes are binding and additional expenses will be charged to you if the reason for any alteration is outside the Company’s control. While traveling with the Company you agree to accept the authority of the leader and/or local operator at all times. You are aware that travel within a group may involve compromise to accommodate the diverse desires and physical abilities of group members. You understand that the Company reserves the right to decline, accept, or retain any person as a member of the group at any time. You acknowledge that the Company contracts with a network of companies, government agencies and individuals to assist in the running of its trips. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, these third parties are qualified to perform the duties they are contracted to perform. However, the Company will not be held liable for any injury including death, damage, loss, delay or irregularity that may occur due to the behavior of these third parties. The Company will not accept responsibility or liability for any client who contravenes any law or regulation of any country visited. No employee, contractor, sub-contractor, servant or agent of the Company has authority to vary these conditions. This agreement is governed by the laws of California.

Please note: This itinerary is designed to give you an idea of what to expect during our trip but is not set in stone. What we actually do on a given day is flexible and can be tailored to the interests of the group.
