Gear up for a premium multi-day cycling journey designed to challenge your power, handling, and endurance. The S4H Gravel & MTB Cycling Expedition takes you deep into the dramatic landscapes of Antalya, Kemer, and Olympos. Facing sharp climbs and long, high-speed gravel descents, this program is fully optimized for peak performance during the ideal cool months of January, February, and March.
Why Choose the S4H Cycling Experience?
Diverse High-Gradient Terrains: Challenge yourself on intense alpine climbs like the Saklıkent Summit (+900 m), fast-paced forest fire roads, and technical mountain loops with heavy rock beds around Tahtalı.
Full Mechanical & Logistical Support: S4H offers a premium setup including specialized route marshals, a mobile support vehicle stocked with spare parts, lubricants, and secure bike storage.
S4H Elite Moments: Experience dawn coastal riding sessions, high-altitude coffee/hot soup stations at mountain peaks, and sunset beach gatherings.
Historic Trails: Ride directly through ancient Lycian cities and the eternal flames of Yanartaş.
Choose our 5-Night Main Program for an incredible high-performance camp, or opt for the 7-Night Extended Experience to tackle the extreme 1,290m gravel descent from Ovacık Highland and enjoy a private picnic on the shores of Phaselis.

Please Note

Passport required
i
Physical Fitness & Skill: This program is built for active cyclists accustomed to continuous high-gradient climbs and fast-paced descents. Daily rides range from 42 km up to 80 km.
i
Extreme Mountain Climates: While coastal zones are mild (14°C to 18°C), our high-mountain routes (up to 2,000m+) can drop below 0°C, and fast descents cause rapid wind chill.
i
Mandatory Cycling Apparel: Due to cold high-altitude descents, you must bring windproof outer shells, full-finger gloves, and shoe covers.
i
Mechanical Readiness: If you are bringing your own bike, ensure it is in perfect working order with appropriate gear ratios for steep climbs. Muddy mountain trails can wear down brakes quickly; S4H support vehicles carry spare pads, but having your bike serviced before arrival is highly recommended.
i
Plan B Route Changes: Safety is our priority. If high-altitude passes (like Saklıkent) are blocked by snow or black ice, alternative routes in lower pine forest zones will be used.
