Marmaris Joins the Global Cycling Stage

L'Étape by Tour de France, the official amateur cycling event of the world-renowned Tour de France, will be hosted in Marmaris in 2026.

Organized with international participation and holding a distinguished position in the global sports calendar, this prestigious event had previously been staged in Türkiye only in Istanbul. Marmaris' inclusion in this elite calendar significantly strengthens the city's standing within the international sports arena.

Supporting the vision of "Cycling City Marmaris," the race will highlight the district's unique natural landscape, mild climate and strong course potential for professional and amateur cyclists alike. With its scenic coastal roads, challenging climbs and panoramic Mediterranean views, Marmaris offers an exceptional setting for an event of this caliber.

Beyond its direct contribution to sports tourism, L'Étape by Tour de France will generate substantial international media exposure and digital visibility. The global recognition associated with the Tour de France brand will further enhance Marmaris' reputation as an active, dynamic and internationally connected destination.

L'Étape by Tour de France represents a strategic and prestigious milestone, reinforcing Marmaris' position on the world sports stage while advancing its long-term vision as a leading cycling and outdoor sports hub.
