i was all over turkey last September and mindful of what was happening only hundreds of miles away but no problems as long as you keep away from the obviously dangerous front line stuff in the south east / far east parts.
Totally recommend you look at Kas further west along the coast, we got a taxi from Kas to Antalya (around £40!) for 200 miles. And then the bus to Goreme in Capadoccia but you can get internal flights as well but i absolutely hate flying and it was an opportunity to see some stunning and varied landscapes. soaring craggy peaks and a road through the high plains that has one bend in over 100km.
Hired a bike in Goreme from ‘Middlearth’, they wanted to take me on a tour (130eur) so i did my usual of just hiring a bike (30 eur), buying a map and headed out on my own. Six hours later i returned after having an amazing solo tour of all the main valleys. Body and mind totally blown (the call to prayer from the next village a few miles away getting carried up the valley as i reached the top of a big climb was unforgettable – as was the emergency stop down a sandy section of single track due to a resting tortoise!)… its one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been, never mind biking. Even Goreme is totally amazing.
just remember to drink shed loads of water…
