Festival Objectives
Our festival is organized to visit and experience firsthand the historical sites, natural beauty, and cultural heritage passed down from the past to the present in and around Demre District of Antalya.

About the Tours
The daily tours held as part of the festival will be approximately 40–50 km long.
Our routes are generally suitable for road bikes.
To respond to situations we hope will not occur during the tour, such as accidents, injuries, or major technical problems, our medical teams, technical support teams, and motorized support staff will accompany you throughout the tour.
