WHY TURKEY

Why Turkey for triathlon training

  • All three disciplines in one place
    A pool, an athletics track and bike routes close to the hotel in every location, so no session is lost to travel.
  • A base for every season
    Warm winters in Antalya, cool summers in Bolu and altitude blocks in Erzurum: plan the whole year with one partner.
  • Easy to reach
    Direct flights to Antalya and Istanbul from most European, Gulf and CIS cities. Erzurum is a short domestic flight from Istanbul or Ankara.
  • Open water by the sea
    In Antalya, athletes swim in the Mediterranean right from beachfront hotels.
