New cycling Odyssey - Alexander: Conqueror of Worlds. 10 days in Greece | 9 days in Turkey | 4 days in Egypt.
This cycling odyssey begins in Northern Greece, tracing the footsteps of Alexander the Great. Starting in Thessaloniki, the journey heads inland to Pella, Alexander's birthplace, and continues through the scenic landscapes of Edessa and Vergina, home to the royal tombs of Macedonian kings. The route then moves south to Mount Olympus, the mythical home of the gods, and into the breathtaking region of Meteora, known for its towering stone pillars and monasteries. The first week concludes at Thermopylae, the site of the legendary stand of the 300 Spartans.
The adventure then shifts to Turkey's Turquoise Coast, accessed via luxury sailboat gulets. Riders will experience the stunning coastline, from the hidden gem of Turunç to the crystal-clear waters of Cliftlik Bay, and the untouched paradise of Sarsala Bay. The journey continues through Göcek, Fethiye, and Kalkan, passing historical sites like the sunken city of Kekova and Demre, home of Saint Nicholas. The Turkish leg ends in Antalya and Sagalassos, one of the best-preserved ancient cities of the Greco-Roman world.
Crossing the Mediterranean, the tour arrives in Alexandria, Egypt, a city founded by Alexander the Great. The final leg follows the Nile south through fertile lands, culminating at the Pyramids of Giza. This monumental cycling finale brings the journey to a close at one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
This tour offers a blend of historical exploration, stunning landscapes, and unique cultural experiences, making it a truly epic adventure.
