Cycling Across Türkiye’s Beauty

For sixty years, the Presidential Tour of Türkiye has done more than just choose winners. It has told the story of a country that is always moving forward. From April 27 to May 4, 2025, the 60th edition of this famous race brought together the world’s best professional cyclists again. They rode through some of Türkiye’s most beautiful places—from the sunny beaches of Antalya to the historic coastline of İzmir.

This is the only race in Türkiye that is part of the UCI ProSeries calendar. The Presidential Tour has become a symbol of strength, beauty, and national pride. In eight stages, athletes rode more than 1,150 kilometers. They passed through stunning locations such as Kemer, Fethiye, Marmaris, and Çeşme.

But the Tour is more than a race. It is also about movement and meaning. Helicopters and drones filmed every moment. These images reached millions of homes in more than 120 countries. They showed the world Türkiye’s natural beauty and rich culture.

The 60th anniversary was not just a number. It was a special moment to show how much Türkiye has grown. It proved that Türkiye is now a top place where sport and storytelling come together.
