Cappadocia and the aegean route
On this motorcycle trip in Turkey you will see cities such as Antalya, sites from the classical world, the Cappadocia region with its rock formations and fairy chimneys, and the turquoise water of the Aegean. We eat Turkish food along the way and ride winding roads in good condition. The weather during the tour suits motorcycle riding: sunny days and water warm enough for a swim. About 1700 km.
