Backroads
Bicycling through the timeless Turkish countryside and along the glimmering Mediterranean Coast, you're more likely to encounter herds of goats than cars. Savor the intoxicating scent of tangerine, orange and lemon blossoms from orchards along the way. Explore through ruins dating to the 7th century B.C. and feast on grilled fresh fish, sun-ripened tomatoes, eggplant, feta cheese and olives, the great cultural foods of the area. On this Backroads cultural odyssey, one can pedal, swim, hike and stargaze.
