Every tour is built around riding, but how much support you get is up to you. Fully guided means riding with a professional guide who knows the places you pass through, either in an open group or on a private programme. Supported self-guided puts a guide in the driving seat of your support vehicle, so you ride at your own pace with backup behind you. Self-guided means your baggage is moved hotel to hotel and a support car and driver are still there if things don't go to plan.

The Aegean Coast Road Bike Touring week runs beside the Mediterranean, with guided or self-guided options and flexible lengths from 5 to 12 days. The route takes in the ancient city of Ephesus, the coves and villages of the Bozburun peninsula, little-known beaches on the Dilek Peninsula, Dalyan's protected turtle beach and freshwater lagoon, the rock formations of Lake Bafa National Park and the remote Latmos Mountains. The 10-day boutique hotel version breaks the same route into shorter chunks, averaging around 50km a day, with hills enough to be challenging and afternoons free for sightseeing or the hotel pool.

The Cappadocia Singletrack MTB tour is the most demanding of the mountain bike options: technical ups, fast flowing chutes and rock garden descents on volcanic terrain. The operator says the sandy ground makes it accessible to riders with a little off-road experience, and that beginners, improvers and experts can all ride it. What sets it apart, in their words, is the standard of the hotels and restaurants used along the way, alongside the historical sights.

The Cappadocia Adventure Biking tour is the gentler mountain bike week. It links the Ihlara Canyon, Soganli Valley and the fairy chimney landscape from Mustafapasa to Goreme on dirt tracks, quiet roads and smooth off-road trails, without being too technical or physically intense. The operator recommends it for small groups, couples and families.

The Cappadocia Road Bike Touring week links the region with the Aladaglar Mountains, a limestone range with forests, canyons and waterfalls. Minibus transfers cut out unsuitable stretches, so the days stay full of riding and sights without unnecessary road miles. Daily guided cycling tours also run from the Göreme base on sandy dirt tracks and quiet asphalt back roads, suitable for all, with guide, lunch and bike and helmet hire included.
