Since the use of vehicles is prohibited in Buyukada, transportation by bicycle is common in the local population. Guests who come to the island also visit Buyukada by renting bicycles.
Bike tours offer the convenience of starting from where you rent your bikes. Our suggestion is to tour the island with bicycle tours rather than coach tours. Thus, you have done sports and participate in a more enjoyable activity. But you have to remember that the slopes of the island are too high. Climbing the hills of the island can be exhausting, especially during the summer season.
If you are considering bringing your personal bike to the island it will be a more economical option. Keep in mind, though, that there are bike-by-step rentals on the island. You can have a pleasant trip as long as you follow the rental rules. Prices are usually parallel to each other in all rental shops, but you can still ask prices from a few places. Don't blow your budget for a bike ride.
There are no specific routes for cycling, but cyclists usually follow the path of the carriage. However, this does not lead to very pleasant results. For a more comfortable ride, you can drive along the alleyways rather than the deckchair tour route. Cycling tour route:
Buyukada has two excellent bike trails. Those who wish 14 kilometers of Grand Tour, who wish to choose the smaller tour is a little shorter. On the small tour you can also enjoy a pleasant driving experience among the trees on a 12-kilometre road.
You should also pay attention to the rules in order to have a pleasant time during cycling tours. Since the number of pedestrians and coaches is high, you should consider the driving rules to avoid causing an accident. So you don't turn your vacation into a nightmare.
