See all reviewsTurkey is one of the most varied riding destinations in Europe: the turquoise coast of the Mediterranean, ancient cities, white travertine terraces, high plateaus, canyons and the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, with warm hospitality at every stop. Our Turkey motorcycle tours ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan, with an English-speaking guide, a mechanic and a support vehicle.
Choose The Treasures of Anatolia, an accessible week on the Mediterranean coast from Antalya, from $2,390, or Cappadocia: Exploration Between Earth and Sky, a 9-day adventure in the heart of Anatolia from Kayseri, from $3,390.
From Antalya, you ride along the Mediterranean to Kaş and Dalyan, then inland to the white terraces of Pamukkale and the ancient city of Hierapolis, before returning to Antalya via the lake of Eğirdir: 7 days and about 680 miles, almost entirely on paved roads, with a short, easy section of track. Departures from April to June, then in October and November. From $2,390, $1,990 for a passenger.
From Kayseri and the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, the route heads east into the wildest part of Anatolia: the Kapuzbaşı waterfalls, the mountains around Malatya, the canyons of Kemaliye, and back to Cappadocia: 9 days and about 930 miles, with around one fifth of the distance on gravel tracks. Departures from June to September. From $3,390, $2,790 for a passenger.
Spring and fall are ideal on the Mediterranean coast, which is why The Treasures of Anatolia runs from April to June and in October and November. The high plateaus of central Anatolia are at their best in summer, when the Cappadocia tour runs, from June to September.
Hittites, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans have all left their mark on Anatolia. On the road, you visit the ancient sites of Hierapolis and the Lycian coast, the troglodyte churches and villages of Cappadocia, and small towns where tea is always offered to travelers.

The two routes are very different. The Treasures of Anatolia is an accessible tour, almost entirely on paved roads, with one short and easy section of track: you just need to be comfortable on a motorcycle. Cappadocia: Exploration Between Earth and Sky is an adventure tour: about one fifth of the 930 miles are on gravel tracks, with daily stages of 5 to 6 hours, so it requires off-road experience and good physical fitness.
A Royal Enfield Himalayan, the brand’s adventure motorcycle: comfortable on the long coastal and mountain roads of Anatolia, and at ease on the gravel tracks of the Cappadocia tour.
Yes. The Treasures of Anatolia is well suited to riding two-up. On the Cappadocia tour, passengers are welcome if the pair is used to mountain roads and ready for a sustained pace and some gravel tracks.
For a first tour or a relaxed week with a strong cultural side, choose The Treasures of Anatolia, between Antalya, Kaş and Pamukkale. For spectacular scenery and a real riding challenge, choose Cappadocia: Exploration Between Earth and Sky.
Fly to Antalya for The Treasures of Anatolia, or to Kayseri for the Cappadocia tour, usually with a connection in Istanbul. We meet you at the airport. US citizens can enter Turkey without a visa for a tourist stay of up to 90 days.
