About
Welcome to Middle Earth Travel... We are the trekking, hiking, walking, climbing outdoors and archeology guides of Turkey. We are based in Cappadocia, a very special region which resembles a magical fairy tale land. The remains of the millions years ago volcanic eruptions, shaped by the wind and rain for thousands of years, have formed one of natures most spectacular masterpieces: Strange rock formations, called: "fairy chimneys". Beautifully coloured valleys full of these 'fairy houses' have been a fantastic stage for some of the most important actors of known history, some of which are the Hittites, The Persians, Alexander the Great, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans. Many of these caves are still decorated with icons and wall paintings from the early Christian times.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Pirates Coast Trek along the Lycian Way was fantastic! As somewhat experienced hikers, we found that the duration and intensity of the routes offered a good balance between hiking, relaxing, and exploring towns along the way. The accommodation and food were great, it was exciting to stay in so many different areas in the mountains and by the sea. On day four we opted to extend our climb to the summit of Mt. Olympos which was unfortunately completely surrounded by cloud so views were limited. For those wanting to do this 1500 m of elevation gain, make sure to check the forecast and start as early as possible. The last day of hiking took us around a peninsula to the Geledonya Lighthouse, and finished at Pirates Cove which was an excellent swimming spot and one of the highlights of our trip. The self-guided tour was organized very well and Deniz was very helpful and knowledgeable of the route.

The team at Middle Earth are great. We mucked them about with dates and they adjusted things for us with no trouble. We did a hike through the rock formations that got more spectacular around every corner. It was not strenuous if you are fit and you need decent walking shoes. Our guide Gaya was really enthusiastic and knowledgable about the area. When you are on foot you definitely see more than around the highly populated tourist areas. In the middle of nowhere we came across a man and his son selling drinks and dried fruits and nuts.

Highly recommend for a ground level look at the wonders around Göreme. A chance to get up close and hear the stories. We had a great guide who took into account our different skill levels without detracting from the experience. And it's a great fun ride including for experienced mountain bikers

We did a day tour biking ( biking in cappadocia) around Goreme which was excellent. Our guide Jon was super. He was patient, knowledge and fun. The bikes and other equipment were in excellent condition. The ride and the views were amazing
We were able to visit different sites and caves and really learn about the people and culture. Just Amazing! Would highly recommend doing a tour like this to really get a fill for the region.

We had a fantastic trip, seeing Cappadocia by bike was without doubt a great way to do it. The guides driver and office were all excellent, extremely helpful and flexible to any circumstances. Their friendliness good humour and willingness to be as helpful and accommodating as possible and sort any unforeseen things speedily and effectively. really made the trip. Our thanks to them all, we loved it. I would certainly look to do another trip with them. The electric bikes provided were very good and allowed us to really travel the area.
Highly recommend.

We used Middle Earth for a multi-day private hiking tour, with a few days in Goreme and then about a week in the Aladaglar mountains. The whole experience was first class. They were very accomodating to find us a trip that met our needs and still flexible enough to change when the conditions warranted. Guides Muhammed and Atil were super knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend them. Turkey is a beautiful country and in our experience everyone was friendly and welcoming, and we always felt safe.

Excellent communication from Jon, Muhammad, and Ismael. Bikes were in great shape, they provided me with tools, patch kits ect. They took the time to explain the area, trails, ect. And they have a great coffee shop above the bike rentals.

Cappadocia Singletrack MTB 7-day trip with Middle Earth Travel was an unforgettable experience for our 3-member cycling group. We were lead by a very professional guide Vedat in Cappadocia region full of friendly people and stunning beauty. Not to mention the tour full of (flow) single trails and beautiful views around every corner, thumbs up for Jon who designed this stages, simply top! For sure one of the best MTB-tours I have done in my many years of cycling holidays.

We did the Jungle to Moon ride with Middle Earth Travel (BikingInTurkey). Highly recommended!! The guide was excellent and led us over dirt roads and single track through some great landscapes. I am primarily a road biker, so I found the hills and technical descents challenging in all the right ways. You will not be disappointed.

merhabalar,
bu mesajı şu an gördüm, geç dönüşümüz için kusura bakmayın. günlük sadece trekking turları ve özel turlar yapıyoruz. diğer acentelerin yaptığı paket turları yapmıyoruz. umarım kapadokya gezinizden keyif almışsınızdır.
