Mountain Bike

Experience the spectacular descent from the Ovack Plateau to the Kesme Valley the best way possible—from the seat of a mountain bike. Your day's ride will follow a stunning 25 km route through the Taurus Mountains and reveal panoramic views of the mountains and high forests.

Our tour will start with a quick transfer to the top of the Ovack Plateau, which towers above the lowlands at 1150 meters. After our professional biking guides hand out equipment and provide a safety briefing, we’ll ride southwest. The wide dirt trail winds toward Mt. Olympos and down to Gedelme Village, where we’ll stop for a cool drink under a giant Platan tree and explore the castle ruins of ancient Kadrema. We’ll continue on through the forest to the Dutagaci River and make a 2 km climb to Sumakseniri, where we’ll stop for a rest. The final downhill stretch into the picturesque Kesme Valley ends at the Muhtar's river bar, where we’ll cool off with a swim in crystal waters.

No prior experience is required to take part in our mountain biking tour. Anyone who is over the age of 10 and taller than 140 cm can participate. The terrain is gentle and our expert guides will ensure the safety of all guests. Each person will be covered by our insurance during the tour. Our professional-grade equipment includes Specialized Hardrock mountain bikes, helmets, gloves and water bottles.

Items you’ll want to bring include sunglasses, sunscreen, tennis shoes (no open toed shoes), windbreaker or light jacket (spring and autumn), and cash for souvenirs.
