Marmaris

A mountain bike route in the calm alleys of Gökova, among the virgin bays and in the forests! Bördübet Bay is beautiful and features pristine bays with campsites. The name of the bay comes from “bird bed.” There are many different bird species here and birdsong will always accompany us as we cycle through the forest.

A short route for exploring İçmeler and its surroundings! İçmeler is a holiday center with many hotels, golden sand, and a crystal clear sea. The park in the district center resembles a botanical garden. In the middle of the route, we’ll come across the Marmaris Honey House. After a short tour of the museum, you can taste the most delicious honeys of the region!

Karacasöğüt is a Blue Cruise destination. There are no big hotels here – only quiet boutique hotels with few people. Along our route, there are rocks with pine trees between them, and yellow flowers scattered among the trees.

A hilly route in nature! The first stop is Bördübet, a quiet bay in the Gulf of Gökova, offering unique landscapes. You can choose to cool off by swimming in these quiet bays. There are also camping areas and boutique hotels. Next is Yedi Adalar, which means “Seven Islands” in Turkish. With its coral reefs, it’s one of the most beautiful bays in the Aegean.

A challenging route in the forests that are full of oxygen! We head towards the village of Çetibeli which is covered in pine trees and sweetgums. On the way, it’s possible to enjoy the silence and breathe in the oxygen of the pristine hills. Leaving behind the villages, we’ll be accompanied by the unique views of Gökova Bay.

Before setting off, you can visit İyilik Kayaları (“Cliffs of Goodness” in Turkish), an ancient city established around the natural cliffs. Hisarönü is a continuation of the ancient city of Bybassos. Today, the historic port welcomes visitors as a beach.

The first stop is Karacasöğüt, an archaeological site that has been inhabited since the Hellenistic period. This is a region with amazing bays that are difficult to reach by car and are mostly visited on boat tours. We’ll pass through the village of Yeşilbelde where organic agriculture is common. The organic peanuts are not to be missed

On the Fürth Way which is between Marmaris and İçmeler, there are small ramps, excellent views, and plenty of oxygen. To reach Mezargediği, we’ll pass through a forest and then we’ll return to İçmeler. In the past, İçmeler was a fishing town but today, it’s a tourism center with luxury hotels. Dozens of restaurants and bars await to offer us a break.

Now, it’s time for one of the toughest mountain bike routes. We’re going to gain an altitude of 1,285 meters within 58 kilometers. The starting point is Selimiye, a fishing neighborhood. There, the fragrant white blossoms of the almond trees will be waiting for us in February.

We set off from Bencik Bay, a special bay in the region where the Mediterranean and Aegean meet. En route, we’ll see many pristine bays that invite us to dive in. We’ll ride between colorful flowers surrounded by nature. There are several suitable camp areas on the way. Tire yourself riding and then relax by swimming in the turquoise sea!

A 31-kilometer-long route, full of fascinating landscapes! The starting point of the route is Bozburun, a shipyard for wooden boats where you can see many boat ateliers and artisans at work. Then we’ll pass the village of Selimiye. It’s a calm seaside neighborhood. Söğüt will be the last stop before returning to Bozburun.

A 30-kilometer-long route from the famous beach to calm paths! Çamlı welcomes its visitors with its beautiful nature and history. Throughout our trip we’ll be immersed in nature and won’t come across any settlements. There are boat journeys from Çamlı to Cedar Island which is home to the world-famous Cleopatra Beach where legend has it that Cleopatra and Antony once swam.

This is a training route that’s not too hard on the legs. Before setting off you can take in the view of Marmaris Castle. Our chosen route will take us between the pine trees. We’re going to ride with the magnificent beaches on our left for a while, and then distance ourselves from the sea a little and continue in the forest. The road in the forest promises us plenty of oxygen.

From the end of the Mediterranean to the turquoise Aegean Sea… In a short time, we’ll be at the highest point of the route, and arrive at the English Harbor. In World War II, British submarines escaped the German navy and took refuge here. That’s how the bay got its name!

A route that promises dozens of shades of green and blue, and that will take us almost all across the Marmaris Peninsula! We’ll visit Hisaronu, one of the largest and most historic villages in Marmaris. The sea here is suitable for windsurfing.

This route is long, a bit hilly, and not very easy. If you feel you’re up to the challenge, let’s go! We’re going to climb to the village of Bayır and take a break under the shade of the 2,000-year-old monumental plane tree. Before the finish point, you can pitch a tent at Çubucak Forest Camp.

Then we’ll stop by Günnücek Forest and inhale the oxygen between the sweetgums, one of the rarest trees on Earth

An ideal route for those who want to admire the turquoise sea! Turunç, which in Turkish means “bitter orange,” will be our first stop. The bays here are suitable for diving. From Turunç we head to Kumlubuk. We’ll climb through the sweetgums and get bird’s-eye views of the blue bays. This might be one of the most challenging climbs of the Marmaris courses.

Within 65 kilometers, we will time travel between old stone houses and modern villas, ancient cities and new settlements! The route’s starting point, Söğüt, is an old commercial port. It is an ideal point for a quiet holiday and an organic diet. After leaving Söğüt, we’ll descend hills and tiny islands will appear. Our final stop is Serçe Port – a great place for camping!

On this route, we’ll gain an altitude of about 1,100 meters. Our first stop will be Bayır village and from there we’ll head to Kumlubük. In Kumlubuk, a virgin bay and a crystal clear sea will greet us. The course ends in Turunç. If you’re not too tired, we recommend visiting the ancient city of Amos, a few kilometers south of Turunç.
