Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye
Antalya, Antalya
A week of stage racing that moves down the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts and finishes in Ankara. Following it means a new town most nights and a lot of navigating, and the route changes with every edition.
Teams, media and travelling fans, most of them changing base every day.
Install at home. It starts working the moment you land.

Chasing a stage race by car means mountain finishes and closed roads, often with no signal at the top. Download the day's route offline before you leave the hotel.

- 1
Buy on your own connection
Choose a plan and pay at home. Nothing is left for the airport, and nothing depends on finding Wi-Fi in a terminal you do not know.

Install the eSIM now
It downloads over your home Wi-Fi and then waits. It does nothing at all until it finds a Turkish network.

Land connected
Your phone joins the network before you reach baggage, so transfers, maps and the group chat all work from the first minute.
Worth knowing
-
One plan can cover the group
Hotspot costs nothing extra where the local network allows it, so a second phone, a tablet or a teammate without their own plan can share it.
-
Your own number stays live
The eSIM carries data only. Your home SIM keeps handling calls, SMS and the WhatsApp number people already have for you.
-
Running low
Top up the same eSIM in the app rather than installing another one. Nothing needs reconfiguring mid-trip.
Frequently asked questions
Can I install it before I arrive in Türkiye?
Yes, and that is the point. The eSIM installs over any connection at home and stays dormant until your phone finds a Turkish network on arrival.
How many days should I buy?
Match your booked stay and add a day or two. Arriving early or staying on afterwards is common at events, and extending is cheaper than buying again.
Will it work away from the cities?
The plan runs on a major Turkish network, which covers towns, coasts and main roads well. Remote valleys, high ground and open water are patchy on any network — download offline maps if the event takes you there.
