awesome.. plan away man.

Depends how much time you have for Turkey.. I mean you need months but say you have a couple of weeks.. must do's for me:

If crossing from Canakkale:

Visit the Gallipoli war memorials, there Turkish, British and also Anzac graves. The national park is really nice and would also make for a pleasant afternoon ride.

Then if you have time, see the south coast (bits of it anyway), Fethiye/Kas/Kalkan onwards is pretty nice.

If not head towards Cappadocia,

Then 2 choices:

Up to the black sea (friendliest people in Turkey).. however its not the coast that's interesting its the roads to the coast. If you want an epic ride... do the Of - Ispir - Erzurum road... you go from tea plantations lush green to, alpine meadows to proper dry anatolian plains.

Or head to the south east Antep, Urfa, Mardin (deserty, awesome food and sweet pastries.. much much more middle eastern influence).. for motorbiking defo zig zag the Black sea...

Also back to the black sea.... after Erzurum you can head back up to Artvin.. again awesome roads then cross in to Batumi Georgia.. seaside an expensive.

We crossed from Turkgozu (we set of from Kars, saw the Ani ruins etc).. the road to Turkgozu is pretty dismal but fun on an adventure bike.. its a steady climb with a lot of potholes and lorries struggling up the hill. Then booooom.. you're in Georgia.. the roads are instantly better from the Turkgozu road. We haded to Borjomi and did some hiking but take your pick. Goergia is ace... Mestia is brilliant and the ride up there is epic....or if you dont have the days head to Signagi (wine region) then upto Kazbeg (mountains) then in to Armenia.

Hope these pointers help!

But yeah Turkey is massive, and you'll need a few months to see it all. If you decide to head south on the way go to Pamukkale in Denizli and also see the ancient roman city (included in ticket price) its pretty ace.

Happy planning !
