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.

Nous partons de la baie de Bencik, une baie particulière dans la région où la Méditerranée et la Mer Égée se rencontrent. En route, nous verrons de nombreuses baies immaculées qui nous invitent à plonger. Nous roulerons entre des fleurs colorées en pleine nature. Il y a plusieurs zones de camp appropriées sur le chemin. Fatiguez-vous à cheval puis détendez-vous en nageant dans la mer turquoise!

Un parcours de 31 kilomètres, plein de paysages fascinants! Le point de départ de la route est Bozburun, un chantier naval de bateaux en bois où vous pouvez voir de nombreux ateliers et artisans de bateaux au travail. Ensuite, nous passerons le village de Selimiye. C’est un quartier balnéaire calme. Söğüt sera le dernier arrêt avant de retourner à 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!

Ensuite, nous nous arrêterons dans la forêt de Günnücek et inhalerons l'oxygène entre les sweetgums, l'un des arbres les plus rares de la planète.

Une route qui promet des dizaines de nuances de vert et de bleu, et qui nous mènera presque partout dans la péninsule de Marmaris! Nous visiterons Hisaronu, l'un des villages les plus grands et les plus historiques de Marmaris. La mer ici est propice à la planche à voile.

Cette route est longue, un peu vallonnée et pas très facile. Si vous sentez que vous êtes à la hauteur du défi, allons-y! Nous allons monter au village de Bayır et faire une pause à l’ombre du platane monumental vieux de 2,000 ans. Avant le point d'arrivée, vous pouvez planter une tente au camp forestier de Çubucak.

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

Du bout de la Méditerranée à la Mer Égée turquoise… Dans peu de temps, nous serons au point le plus élevé de la route et arriverons au Port Anglais. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les sous-marins britanniques ont échappé à la marine allemande et se sont réfugiés ici. C’est ainsi que la baie tire son nom!

Une route idéale pour ceux qui veulent admirer la mer turquoise! Turunç, qui signifie en Turc «orange amère», sera notre premier arrêt. Les baies ici sont propices à la plongée. De Turunç, nous nous dirigeons vers Kumlubuk. Nous grimperons à travers les sweetgums et admirerons les baies bleues à vol d'oiseau. Cela pourrait être l'une des montées les plus difficiles des parcours de Marmaris.

Dans un rayon de 65 kilomètres, nous voyagerons dans le temps entre les vieilles maisons en pierre et les villas modernes, les villes anciennes et les nouvelles colonies! Le point de départ de la route, Söğüt, est un ancien port de commerce. C'est un point idéal pour des vacances tranquilles et une alimentation bio. Après avoir quitté Söğüt, nous descendrons des collines et de petites îles apparaîtront. Notre dernier arrêt est le Port de Serçe - un endroit idéal pour camper!

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.
