More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull onto a dirt track and the world narrows to the clack of a gearbox and the scent of pine dust. The Taurus Mountains rise suddenly from the Mediterranean plain—rock ribs and cedar-scented gullies framing a route that alternates between switchbacked singletrack, dry riverbeds, and shaded forest lanes. A guide checks helmets, demonstrates the automatic buggy controls, and points to the ribbon of the river where the group will pause.
