Turkey May - mid July 2014
 

Hello All,
My wife and I are planning to cross from Georgia to Turkey at the beginning of May and ride there for a couple of months. We plan to go to Ani, Van Lake, Kurdistan, Mardin, Nemrut, Cappadocia, Istanbul and Safronbolu. Our plan is flexible.

We want to ask if any fellow bikers are planning to be in Turkey in that time and would like to meet or even to do part of the trip with us? :)

HI mate,

I will be on Istanbul on the 2nd July approx. Will be happy to meet you somewhere on the road. Will be driving in Turkey for a couple of weeks maybe.

No plan yet on the route. Pretty flexible too. :scooter:

I meet up with my wife in Istanbul on 15th August for 2 weeks touring Turkey.
We will be there too late for you but wish you a great trip. :thumbup1:

Hi Hebbo,
this a bit late for us as we will be heading back to Georgia around this time to catch a flight for our friends' wedding. I mixed up the dates, sorry.

We will probably be leaving Istanbul by 21st of June. If that's good for you, it would be great to meet.

Tim, sorry we won't be able to meet. Turkey is a great place for touring so I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot. Do you know which route you're going to take? Watch our blog and FB as we're going back to Turkey at the end of this month & will be spending a couple of months travelling around.

BTW, seems like so many people head to Australia these days. Are they giving something for free over there? ;)

Hi
You'd better not to use tne name of kurdstan in Turkiye.
Turkish people do not like it. Because there is no region called so in Turkey.
regards

Thanks for the concern, I already know that. :)

Hi Phil, I probably won't be able to catch up with you, especially riding 2 up, but definitely have to meet. :) I will send you a private message.

Hi,

I am planing to arrive in Antalya end of April. Staying for 3 weeks in Turkey.

Travelling solo. Would be nice to have company :thumbup1:

Hi Paula, sounds good. Do you have any specific plans. We're thinking about heading towards Istanbul first (we're in Georgia). Here's our rough route:

We could try to meet in Konya if you're planning to go this way. :)

Hi jacekklimko

cheked your route .... part of it is the same I will do :)

Planing to be in Konya area May 2nd ...

if this date crosses your plan, it would be nice to have company for a few days

You're a month in front of me :taz: anyway what in Konya ?
Phil

besides Dervishes, museums, moskes and markets :) ... is a city in the road betwen pamukkale and cappadocia ...

a cross point from diferent routes ...


Chose may because June may be just a litle too hot in Turkey :confused1: ....

Oopps, didn't think about that. Hopefully it will be bearable.

As for Konya, lika Paula mentioned, it's situated between other places & I think it would be cool to visit for a day or two. :)

Have you heard before "Black Sea Region" especially east of black sea or "Macahel region"
