In the morning, set course for the starting point of your bike tour for today; Serçe. Serçe is the southernmost point where you. Lack of water in this area is evident in the landscape. It is much less green than the area the day before. Although the distance suggests otherwise, this is a tough bike ride. But the surroundings are truly beautiful with rugged landscapes, wild horses and the most beautiful views of quiet coves and rugged coastlines. The village of Sögüt is a nice place for a cup of tea. Bozburun is known for its craftsmanship when it comes to boat building. Your eyes are looking out!
The ship is already waiting for you in the port of Bozburun. In the afternoon, explore the town of Bozburun.

The last cycling day of this cycling vacation is also the longest. This bike ride is a real treat for those who love crystal clear bays and wooded trails. The roads become narrow lanes, in the middle of nature. We saved the best for last: a winding road,all along beautiful blue deserted coves, a real feast for the eyes! The next place is even more beautiful than the last.
Overnight Bencik Bay

General information
During this cycling and boating vacation in Turkey, you will discover the beautiful Kara coast in a group setting. The Carian coast is known for its beautiful coastline, pristine nature and countless deserted bays.
The area is sparsely populated with several ports and car-free roads. This therefore also makes this location very suitable for a bike-boating vacation.
The day trips are highly recreational and range from 20 to 35 kilometers. On average, the tours last between 3 and 4 hours. The Carian coast is not flat; for variety, you will encounter occasional steeper sections. The length of a steeper section is never really long with an occasional outlier of a few kilometers on bike day 2.
All routes, except the first ride, are on paved roads with little traffic. The aim is to be back at the boat no later than 1 p.m. for a sumptuous lunch.
Cycling-boating vacation Turkey You will stay on a 30-meter long gület, a wooden sailing ship, equipped with all conveniences. All cabins have their own toilet and shower. The ship will mainly motor from bay to bay, taking the group along the way to the places from which the cycling routes will depart. Most of the overnight stays will also take place in a bay so that you can fully enjoy the peace and nature. The afternoons are for relaxation, swimming, snorkeling and/or boating.
