The 18 most prominent climbs in Turkey. Color is category; the two ringed marks are the longest and the steepest.

Turkey's climbing catalogue is compact but serious, with seven catalogued ascents that trade on history as much as gradient. The names read like a march through antiquity: the Cilician Gates and Iberian Gates, the Amanian Gate and Belen Pass, storied corridors that armies once forced and cyclists now savor. Further afield, the Zigana Pass and Kızıldağ Pass round out a spread that rewards riders willing to chase elevation across varied terrain.

The reward is real climbing, not token bumps. The highest summit here tops out at 2308 meters, and among the seven ascents one earns the fearsome hors catégorie rating reserved for the longest, steepest efforts. It is a destination for cyclists who want their kilometers to mean something, where every pass carries the weight of the road that came before.
