The Big Descent!
Although Kas is often a stopping off place for cycle tours of the Turkish coast, there are opportunities to hire bikes and go on organised cycle trips in the local area.
Kaş offers a great introduction to mountain biking with typically dry single track or forest fire track trails for novice riders, while also providing a more relaxing break for the experienced rider. Trails pass through areas with a stunning backdrop of mountains, valleys, streams, canyons, cedar forests and the ruins of ancient civilizations. En route there is lots of time for impromptu picnics and swimming stops, and the chance to experience the famous hospitality of Turkish village life.
Using a mixture of little used asphalt roads and backwater rough roads, descents usually come from the mountains back to stunning views of the Mediterranean coast. A fun and exhilarating day out, and most of it downhill! Full guided cycling with support vehicle always close behind with great views, exhilarating descents, and a variety of tracks which pass through cool forests and wide open meadows make for an excellent day's cycling
