For years Moto Discovery has been operating motorcycle tours
throughout various parts of Turkey. This has long sense been a favorite for
both out tour riders as well as our staff. The Turkey
tours are great for rider of any skill level. The entire tour takes place
on paved roads and any off road riding is completely optional. We have found
that this tour is a truly romantic event and is great for couples. We spend 11
days riding over 1900 miles through and area that is rich with biblical history
and archeology. Despite what many people think Turkey is a very safe tour to
travel and the ride is always one of our favorite destinations.
The
Tour of Turkey offers our guests an experience unlike any other. This tour
is filled with romance, culture, history, exotica, and a great ride. We begin
in the famed capital Istanbul. From the moment you arrive you are swept away
with this magical location. Sitting right on the black sea at the point where
Europe meets Asia is where your 11 day exotic adventure begins.
If history is what you want this tour has it all. We begin
the ride by visiting the World War 1 battlefield of Gallipoli. This area is a
major part of New Zealand and Australian military history. From here we head
onward and visit the site of Troy and then the jaw dropping city of Epheus
which is near the Aegean Sea. This area dates back to 500 B.C. and is famous
for its biblical ties and teachings. We will stop in the city of Bodrum which
is a lively town with a great nightlife. In Bodrum you will be able to really
experience a good time and mix it up with the locals. This is a favorite for
many of our riders. After Bodrum we will continue along the Aegean coast to
Konya. This area is most famous for the monument and tomb of the great Sufi
spiritual leader Rumi. The town of Konya is a pilgrimage site for people who
follow the peaceful philosophy and teachings of this Persian poet.
The true highlight of this trip is the two night stay in
Cappadocia. This area provides us with breathtaking views of soft volcanic stone
pinnacles as well as carved habitats. Your hotel is one of these unique
architectural endeavors. In Cappadocia you will have time to really enjoy this
area. Take a hot air balloon ride for the best view of the city or explore the
underground city of Derinkuyu. This city could inhabit as many as 25,000
people. The stories the locals tell about these subterranean dwellings will
have you in awe.
After you have explored and enjoyed everything Cappadocia
has to offer we are a short domestic flight back to Istanbul to wrap things up.
If you have the time we definitely recommend you extend your trip to spend a
few more days in Istanbul. This is an incredible city with a lot to offer. Moto
Discovery can facilitate the extra nights for you and even provide you with a
menu of activities at your request.
