Turkey early November
G'day cobbers!
I've got 2 weeks R&R coming up for the first 2 weeks of November and am looking into flying to Antalya in the south of Turkey and hiring a motorbike for 2 weeks. I'd like to see Mount Nemrut in the east, and head up to Cappadoccia for a couple of days exploring the valleys on foot. I don't have any fixed plans at this stage.
Cheers, Lewis

Russia and USA just started a chess game in north syria so better keep updated with the situation in the area..Currently Mount Nemrut is NOT recommended...nomore east after cappadocia from mid anatolia.
PM elections will be on nov.1. and its expected to be worse in the area afterwards until syria problem is over or calm..Also your motobike hire company will donate you with all the current information..
Probably weather will be partly rainy, insallah not stormy on seaside places or a bit snowy on inlands..
Personally can recommend you the below route which covers most of the interesting/historical places,beaches and colors around antalya..Off season now for locals as schools are opened..
All the best.
Antalya, anamur,silifke,karaman,aksaray,cappadocia,konya,eg ridir lake side,isparta,denizli,pamukkale hierapolis,selcuk ephesus,milas,kas, kemer, antalya...

Thanks for the information!
I have been keeping an eye on the Syria situation and I am a bit concerned about the border area. Apparently there is a real risk of kidnappings within 50km of the border. It's a shame as that part of Turkey looks very nice from what I have researched. The safer option will be no further east than the line between Antalya to Cappadocia.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
