L’Étape Marmaris by Tour de France

On June 7, 2026, the spirit of the Tour will meet the Turkish Riviera as L’Étape Marmaris by Tour de France brings one of the world’s most iconic amateur cycling series to Marmaris. Held in more than 20 countries and 35 cities worldwide, L’Étape will turn this Aegean-Mediterranean crossroads into a race-day showcase of climbs, coastline, and pure cycling drama. With 97 km and 66 km course options, the event will welcome riders into a landscape where mountains rise straight from the sea, every ascent feels earned, and every descent opens onto postcard views.

What makes Marmaris especially compelling is that this won’t feel like a simple gran fondo—it will feel like a true Tour de France-inspired experience. Riders will compete for the sport’s most symbolic jerseys: the Yellow Jersey for the general classification leader, the Polka Dot Jersey for the climbing leader, the Green Jersey for the sprint leader, and the White Jersey for the best young rider. Adding even more prestige, top performers in their categories will earn the chance to participate in L’Étape du Tour in France. And that is the magic of this weekend: a serious sporting challenge wrapped in one of Türkiye’s most seductive coastal destinations. Even if you’re not the one clipping in, Marmaris still gives you every reason to come—sunlit marinas, sea-view cafés, and a race atmosphere that turns a June weekend into something worth planning your trip around.
