Not at the moment. It depends on which bit of Turkey, but south east, and South, is a very bad idea at the moment.

Just for the fact they charge you a tenner to get in.

Yep, you'd be lucky if you don't end up in the Bospherus.

Angry Blonde...some 4 years ago i took a flight to Dalaman Airport .....bus into Fethiye , stayed in a cheap hotel for a couple of days and then walked the Lycian Way ( or 230 klms of it ,until it rained for 4 days non stop, and as we all know walking or cycling day after day in the rain soon saps the moral ). I don't know about cycling in the area but i loved the walking ...food....people.....I had a great time . The general area is quite hilly .

Sounds great mate....im only taking my bike to go for early.morning jaunts whilst the wife and kids normally lie in till 9 10 am....im.normally up at four.

Cheers for the info mate......would you go back to their for a holiday

 

[jonyjony]

Yes i would go back .....on google maps it appears that your hotel is about 15 / 20 klms from Fethiye .....what a great early morning ride that would be , 15 klms ride ......a coffee and breakfast of honey and youghurt on the quay side at Fethiye ......ride around the coastal road a couple of klms and admire the work being carried out on huge wooden boats in the various boatyards .....then ride back for another breakfast at your hotel .
