We had heard a lot from other cycle travelers about the coastal route from Antalya to Fethiye. So, we decided to spend some days on this road in the hope of finding nice nature, calm roads, beautiful ancient sites, and secret places to pitch our tent...

At a coffee stop not far from Antalya's city center, we met Rob, a charming cycling enthusiast senior from the UK. We chatted together before leaving the Turkish tourist hotspot behind us 😎
