MTB and nature with a hint of antiquity Exploring the Gökova Golf by mountain bike and boat is pure nature experience! This scenic gem stretches between the historic city of Bodrum and the spectacular Datҁa Peninsula. In contrast to the modernity of Bodrum, it feels as if time has stood still in the small villages surrounding the large city, where the locals are friendly and full of smiles. Spared from mass tourism, it is here that the true colours of Turkey begin to shine. Unspoiled, wild nature with fantastic panoramas, small harbours, wonderfully clear water, and historical highlights make the Gökova-Gulf a very attractive holiday destination, well worth discovering on two wheels! On this tour you explore this charming area without ever having to worry about your luggage. Your comfortable floating home (and restaurant!) accompanies you throughout the whole tour. We explore the region by mountain bike along a number of natural trails and newly built single trails, with refreshing swim stops in the sea at the end of each day. In the evening, there is plenty of time to take a walk through the idyllic harbour towns or relax in quaint bars or on the deck of the ship. Book Now Highlights Culture: Knidos, an impressive excavation site, in a beautiful bay Nature: Impressive panorama of Kalmynos' climbing rocks Activity: Visit to the ancient rock tombs in Akyaka Culinary: Don't miss trying Gözleme!
