The day ends in Kumlubuk, one of the longest, sandiest, and most picturesque beaches you’ll see on the trip.

Day 4. BIKE Kumlubuk – Selimiye 52.5 km +-1370m

Today’s ride takes you up a steep yet rewarding road to the traditional villages of Osmaniye and Bayir, before continuing on a scenic stretch of asphalt over the barren, rocky terrain of the peninsula. Pedal straight into Selimiye, a quiet town popular as a stopover on yachting voyages.

Heading deeper into Datca, this route leads riders past the cobblestoned streets of Datca’s old town, through the traditional village of Hizirsah, and back down to the dramatic coast and endless beaches of Mesudiye.
