Your motorcycle expert
Raphael
Originally from Normandy, Raphaël is an adventurer who has fallen under the spell of Latin America. "In 2011, I set off on a long journey on my own. I started with Central America, then I arrived in Ecuador and I was immediately hooked." He has been a motorbike guide for 9 years now and loves creating new motorbike trips to help you discover destinations off the beaten track.
On the agenda
The rich archeology and diverse landscapes of Anatolia make this the perfect motorcycle playground! Join us for a Discovery Tour aboard a Royal Enfield, a trip which provides the perfect combination of beautiful backroads and enriching cultural visits. The Taurus Mountains offer panoramic routes that carry you through alpine landscapes and traditional villages. The coastal roads of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas offer breathtaking views of both the water and mountains. Explore ancient historical sites such as the three harbors of Phaselis, the Hierapolis with its imposing ampatheater, and the rock tombs of Myra. Discover white sandy beaches and savor the delicious local cuisine, with Asian, Oriental, and Mediterranean influences shining through in classic dishes such as mantis (ravioli) and the famous Loukoum pastries. All of this, wrapped in the warm Turkish hospitality, will make your journey an authentic cultural adventure. Türkiye is a multi-faceted country which never fails to amaze and surprise you at every step of your journey.
