Side is a fantastic place for exploration—whether by bike, quad, or combined outdoor thrill. Its proximity to the Taurus Mountains and lush forest trails makes it an ideal spot for adrenaline-fueled adventures. We especially enjoyed the Antalya Super Combo for its variety and expert guides, which combines rafting, jeep safaris, ziplining, and quad biking, offering a full day of outdoor excitement. If you’re looking for something more focused on two wheels, the Forest Quad-Bike Tour provides a rugged ride through pine-scented hills with round-trip hotel transfers, perfect for those wanting a shorter but intense experience. For a more guided, less muddy option, the Guided Quad Bike Riding Experience offers scenic mountain views with a focus on safety and learning.
