Çeşme - Urla

This route offers cyclists the bountiful beauties of the Aegean in a few hours. The route starts at Çeşme Pier and goes to Urla via Alaçatı. Before arriving in Urla, we make a stop at Erythrai, the millennia-old Ionian city in Ildırı. Afterwards, passing through many villages, we arrive at Urla Pier. Another ancient Ionian city, Klazomenai, is waiting for us where the course ends.
