Bodrum to Kisebuku Private E‑Bike Tour: Coastal Singletrack & Byzantine Ruins
Ride from Bodrum's busy streets up into pine‑lined ridges, then descend to the crystal bay of Kisebükü for a swim among Byzantine ruins. This private e‑bike tour blends technical singletrack, village culture and a seaside picnic.
The Experience
Before You Go
Tire pressure for rocky tracks
Lower tire pressure slightly to improve traction on loose gravel and rocky singletrack; avoid going so low that you risk pinch flats.
Sun and wind protection
Bring a high-SPF sunscreen and a light wind shell—the gulf can kick up strong sun and gusts even on warm days.
Use the support vehicle
If a climb or technical section feels out of your comfort zone, tag the support vehicle for a short transfer; it's there for safety and repairs.
Plan your swim timing
Save time at the end for a 45–60 minute swim and picnic—bring swimwear under your kit for a quick change.
