Hard to find gravel roads in western and central Turkiye. Most roads are tarmac. Need to search about gravel. Try this route and better to look for gravels in some specific areas which I will mention.

ÇANAKKALE - Çan - Yenice - Balya - (lots of gravel roads at this area) -Büyükpınar - Deliyusuflar - Şamlı - İbirler - Kepsut - Naipler - Selimağa - Harmancık - Tavşanlı - Kütahya - Afyonkarahisar - Çay - Akşehir - Konya - Sofular - Derinkuyu - Kaymaklı - Ortahisar - Çavuşin - Zelve - Ürgüp (look for gravel roads here) - Kayseri - Develi - Şahmelik - Sarayçam - Çatalçam - Pınarlar - Keklikoluk - Mehmetbey - Göksun - Geben - Andırın - Çuhadarlı - Yeniköy - Kahramanmaraş - Kılağılı - Başdervişli - Çağlayancerit - Yeşilyurt - Bağlarbaşı - Gölbaşı - Adıyaman - Kahta- Siverek - Diyarbakır - Sivan - Baykan - Tatvan - VAN

On the route you can take some other roads and come back to main route again.

Normally you can do this route in 3-4 days...

Hope you like it...
