Itinerary Changes
Cruise operator reserves the right to make alterations to the itinerary, depending on wind and weather conditions or organisational requirements. Sometimes the tour will be conducted in inverse order. You will find further details in your booking information packet.
Helmet Requirements
Helmets are mandatory on your bike tour. It is advised to bring your own, well fitted, helmet with you as the rental helmet numbers are limited (reservation required at time of booking).
Bicycle Level 5
Cycling tours through mountainous terrain with some steeper ascents of up to approximately 400 meters. All tours, including the elevation gains, can be mastered more easily with electronic assistance. Requires excellent bike handling, even on descents with steep hairpin turns and unpaved paths.
Distance: 27 - 49 km per day
Elevation: 300 - 900 meters of elevation per day
Road conditions: The roads are mostly asphalted, but very rough. There is no such thing as smooth asphalt in Turkey. On some stretches of road, you can expect to encounter chippings and small potholes. For this reason, our rental bikes are also equipped with thick tires and suspension to compensate for bumps.
Traffic: Traffic is to be expected within and around coastal towns. 95% of cycle tours lead through rural areas with very little to no traffic.
Infrastructure: There are no designated cycle paths in Turkey; cycling tours take place on public roads, preferably on quiet side roads.
Relevant for all levels: Safe cycling skills and familiarity with road traffic are prerequisites for taking part in our tours. Anyone renting an e-bike should already have experience and be confident in handling e-bikes, as these bikes are significantly heavier and faster than conventional bikes.
Individual cycling
This tour is primarily a guided group tour. Upon consultation with your tour guides, the possibility to cycle on your own along recommended, suitable routes, may present itself. You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the boat, instead of taking a planned bike tour.
Guided group pace:
On the e-bike tour programs, the riding pace is determined by the cyclists on e-bikes. Guests who are taking part on these tours on a gravel bike should have the necessary physical condition to keep up with this pace. We thank you for your understanding
Children
We believe that only children with a good physical condition and previous bicycle tour experience and a minimum age of 10 are able to master the cycle tours with their own strength. Please note that the minimum height for a rental e-bike is 1.50m (5ft.). When travelling with children, we recommend the Multi-Adventure Tours in Greece and Croatia which are specifically curated for families and offer family-friendly pricing.
Accommodation - Deluxe Gulet Admiral (all cabins with shower/toilet)
The 42 x 8.40 m Turkish gulet, Admiral, is a true eye catcher with its three towering masts. The boat offers 15 spacious and climate controlled guest cabins with tiled bathrooms and separate shower cabins and toilet. The large saloon is tastefully decorated and includes a bar where you can order a refreshing beverage. The vast ships decks provide shaded and sunny areas to relax with plenty of comfortable seating areas and sunning mattresses.
Catering
The onboard chef is a member of the crew and will prepare breakfast and one warm meal daily. The catering starts with dinner on embarkation day and ends with breakfast on disembarkation day.
Internet Availability
Turkish boats do not offer a WiFi connection. If you need to connect to the internet during the tour, we recommend bringing your portable electronic device to a cafe or bar somewhere in the harbour. Free WiFi is on offer almost everywhere. If you order something to eat or drink, then you are able to use the WiFi to your hearts content.
Language
Cruise and cycle tours are conducted bilingually (English, German).
