This was our second experience doing something like this. My wife had an e-bike and I had a regular bike. The rides were not long, but the climbs were challenging. Some amazing views. We really enjoyed the boat, the crew, and the guides. I didn't have a bad meal. I got up every morning to enjoy our sail at dawn. Our guides were great. The crew was great and took excellent care of us and the boat. I think my highlight might have been the volcano at Nisyros or the day ending at Knidos.

How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
I think this was pretty hard overall, and of the 7 people who started on regular bikes, only 4 finished. I personally didn't mind so much but this being moderate seemed a bit light.

Great holiday, boat was a good size, crew friendly. A few suggestions for improvements. It bit of hassle with helmets on that no one had the booking for it ?. A lot of smoking by the crew in view of guests. Change of port departure which cost money for guests as pre booked departures were further away.

Took this boat from Bodrum with August and Emma as our guides. There were 15 couples and we all had a fabulous time! The rides were ambitious but fun because we had electric bikes (for those who wanted them) and we had a lot of nice stops. August was charming, funny, and informative. Emma was delightful! The answer was always yes for anything we needed. The food was better than ok and plenty of it. I would use this company again in a different area. Very, very fun!

The crew and guides were amazing. Rooms /beds comfortable. They gave just a blanket that was scratchy - so ask for another sheet. The AC would often be turned off around 3am which made it hot.

Food was great. Hanging out on the top of the boat on the cushions was lovely.

The sites we saw were really beautiful. The bike ride distance were totally doable. If you are heat sensitive- do not do in summer months.

· Lycian Coast E-bike & Boat

The Lycian Coast is absolutely beautiful. The water is the most gorgeous color of blue and so clear!
The bike riding was very hilly, so E-Bikes really made the difference.
The Admiral (ship) needs attention to detail. The crew worked day and night to correct issues: sewage smells, a/c, non functioning lights, plus much, much more. Until the boat is overhauled, I would not recommend it.
We also took the Extension to Istanbul. The Faros Hotel was amazingly helpful; truly service oriented!!

The Lycian Coast is an area of Turkey that abounds with the beautiful blooms of Oleander, roses, and pomegranate. This coastal area has spectacular landscapes everywhere one looks . The
bike trip was excellent in every way .The tour guide was exceptional, as well as the tour guide there were two leaders leading the group and a Van following in the rear . The crew on the boat were enthusiastic , friendly and helped out the passengers in anyway they could . Food was locally based , fresh and delicious ...This bike trip included a variety of activities not just biking ...hikes, exploring ruins , canyon walk ..the terrain made the availability of e bikes a must for our level of experience and age.

Wow! What a trip. The hotel in Bodrum, the El Vino recommended by Tripsite was a gem.
Adem, Metin, Dogukan and Omer catered to our every bicycle need. The attentive staff and accommodations on the Admiral were good. The views, the people and the itinerary made for an exceptional holiday. Highly recommended
