### Welcome to Türkiye

We’re so excited to be spending part of the summer in Türkiye. With its sun-drenched coastlines, lively seaside towns, and rich blend of ancient and modern culture, Türkiye is the perfect place to soak up the season. This will be an unforgettable break filled with warm nights, turquoise waters, and vibrant city energy. Plan to meet new friends while exploring bustling bazaars, dancing to music that spills into the streets, and indulging in everything from meze feasts to perfectly grilled kebabs along the Aegean coast.

## Arrive in Izmir and Enjoy a Mediterranean Dinner

### Izmir Arrival

Arrive in Izmir, a seaside city with pastel sunsets and cafes that spill onto the sidewalks.

### Welcome Mediterranean Dinner

We’ll start our trip at a local restaurant with a relaxed Mediterranean dinner, enjoying sweeping panoramic views of the city.

DAY 2

### Alacati Boat Tour and Swimming

We’ll start with a sun-lit drive to a local seaside town and head to the local marina for a daylong boat tour. We’ll leisurely visit local coves and pause to float, swim or just enjoy the view of the coastline and turquoise waters. By sunset, the captain will turn back to Alacati leaving you with sun-kissed skin and salty hair.

### Evening Stroll and Dinner in Alacati

In the evening, we’ll return to Alacati to stroll along a glowing maze of cobblestone streets, restaurants, wine bars, and tiny boutique shops that stay open late. Among the music, mosaic lights and humming crowds, we’ll grab dinner, ice cream, cocktails and whatever else your heart desires.

DAY 3

### Windsurfing Lesson and Beach Day

We’ll continue our adventure in Alacati by heading to a local beach to learn how to windsurf from experienced instructors. You’ll practice the basics on the sand before venturing into the water to find your rhythm with the wind. By midday, you’ll take a break at a beach club and then spend the afternoon practicing or enjoying the water.

### Evening in Alacati

After a long day of enjoying the beach, we’ll head back to Alacati for a cozy dinner among the string lights and get our last taste of Alacati nightlife.

DAY 4

### Explore Ephesus Archaeological Ruins

You’ll wander slowly through archaeological ruins, learning about Greek & Roman history and architecture from a local guide. The morning will be full of quiet reflection among ancient walls and the serene grandeur of the preserved past.

### Visit House of the Virgin Mary

From there, we’ll head along a winding road to visit the House of the Virgin Mary, where many believe Mary spent her final years.

### Horseback Riding Tour

After a leisurely lunch, we’ll head to a nearby ranch and be matched with horses for a gentle tour along the countryside. As the sun lowers, we’ll head back to the ranch with a content feeling of a full day.

### Stay in Kusadasi

Stay locally in Kusadasi after a day of exploring ancient sites and horseback riding.

DAY 5

### Boat Cruise to Dalyan Delta

We’ll board a boat for another daylong trip heading towards the Dalyan Delta, then past ancient Lycian rock tombs.

### Mud Bath Experience

We’ll pause to dip into warm, mineral-rich mud baths that leave your skin glowing after you rinse off in the cool river.

### Visit Turtle Beach

We’ll stop by a local beach known as a sanctuary for sea turtles, before heading back to enjoy dinner and nightlife in Bodrum.

DAY 6

### Early Morning Walk to Bodrum Windmills

We’ll begin this day before the world wakes, with an (optional) early morning walk to the old stone windmills in Bodrum. We’ll watch the sun rise and change the colors of the coastline.

### Snorkeling Tour in Bodrum

After sunrise, we’ll head to the marina and jump onboard for a snorkeling tour. In between swimming with the local fish, you’ll enjoy the sun on the boat deck.

### Local Beach Day (Alternative Option)

For those who aren’t interested in snorkeling, the alternative option is a sun-filled local beach day.

DAY 7

After your days on the Aegean, we’ll take a short flight to Istanbul to enter a different world - of minarets, palaces, and the deep hum of a city that has stood for centuries.

### Historical Hamam Spa and Exfoliation

We’ll all go to a historical hamam for an afternoon spa & exfoliation treatment. After relaxing in the warm waters and drinking Turkish tea, we’ll make our way to the Bosphorus for a sunset cruise.

### Bosphorus Sunset Cruise

You’ll drift between Europe and Asia as you watch the sun set, and the lights softly illuminate the silhouette of the city.

DAY 8

### Guided Adventures in Istanbul

On your last day in Turkiye, we’ll offer multiple guided adventures, or you can enjoy the city of Istanbul at your own pace.

### Rooftop Dinner in Istanbul

We’ll end the trip with a rooftop dinner and panoramic views of Istanbul’s glittering landscape.

DAY 9

### Flights home

Whether you leave with a suitcase of souvenirs or just stories, you’ll carry Türkiye with you.

11th Annual Rockaway Ride

Sat, Jul 18 · 11:00 AM EDT

Broadway & Chambers St, New York, NY, 272 broadway, New York, NY, US

REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events

The Rockaway Ride is Outsiders' flagship summer tradition: a 20-mile journey from downtown Manhattan to the shores of Rockaway Beach. You'll cross the Brooklyn Bridge, wind through some of New York's most iconic and under-explored neighborhoods, and make a pit stop in Red Hook before pushing all the way out to Queens. And when you roll up to the beach, the real party begins.
THE RIDE This isn't a race. No spandex required, no carbon fiber in sight. Think jean shorts, commuter bikes, and good company. We roll at a social pace, which means plenty of time to take in the city, chat with the group, and actually enjoy the journey. The whole thing takes about 3 hours, and every mile is worth it.
There's no better way to see New York than from a bike, and this route takes you through corners of the city that even lifelong locals have never explored.
Starting at Unlimited Biking on Chambers St, you'll cross the Brooklyn Bridge and make your way to Red Hook for a stop at the legendary Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie. From there, the route carries you up to Prospect Park, entering at 9th Street and cutting through one of Brooklyn's greatest treasures. You'll exit onto Ocean Ave and head south through Midwood, into Marine Park, and then push east through the Rockaways all the way to the sand.
Twenty miles. Eight neighborhoods. One unbeatable finish line.
📍 Full route map: View Here
RED HOOK STOP Our mid-ride stop in Red Hook is worth the miles on its own. Pick up a slice from Steve's Key Lime Pie, a neighborhood institution and one of the best bites in all of New York. Don't skip it.
THE BEACH This is where the afternoon takes off. Once you hit the sand, the ride is done and the party is on. We'll be posted up at Rockaway Beach 86 for the rest of the afternoon: swimming in the waves, playing beach volleyball, and soaking up the sun with good music going all day. Grab food and drinks at Ripper's, one of the best beach bars in the city, right on the boardwalk. Complimentary drinks on us in our beach coolers to celebrate another year on the road. 🍻
This is the finish line, and it looks a lot like summer.
NEED A BIKE? Rent through our partners at Unlimited Biking at a discounted rate. They'll even pick it up at the beach so you ride home free. Reserve here: Unlimited Biking Rentals - https://unlimitedbiking.com/events/annual-rockaway-ride/
