Cappadocia Program:
With its ever-changing panorama and softly rolling
roads, the region is ideal for mountain biking. In
Cappadocia, every turn in the road brings new sights
and scenes, both historic and natural, for the
biker. Mountain bikes are rapidly supplanting
horses, donkeys and four-wheel drive vehicles for
both the local people and tourists.
Going through
Urgup, Goreme and Zelve, the open air museum of
churches and hermit dwellings hewn out of the naked
rock, and the rock pinnacles pierced with the
apertures of doors and windows. In the heat of
summer, cyclists can cruise along in a comfort not
offered by cars and coaches. And they do not have to
abandon their vehicles when the roads narrow to
paths. The number of cyclists is therefore steadily
rising in the region. Cappadocia which has been
