Wil je ook winterzon, maar dan met lege wegen en een beetje avontuur?

Marokko: gravel in de Anti-Atlas rond Tafraoute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De meest avontuurlijke van het rijtje. Je vliegt op Agadir, waar het in december gemiddeld 22,1 graden is en de zon bijna 3.000 uur per jaar schijnt. Een paar uur landinwaarts ligt Tafraoute, op zo&#8217;n 1.000 meter hoogte tussen roze granietrotsen. Rond het stadje lopen pistes en smalle bergweggetjes door de vallei van de Ameln, langs palmoases en lemen dorpjes. Overdag is het daar prima fietsweer, maar &#8217;s nachts kan het flink afkoelen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wil je verder? De bikepackingroute <a href=\"https:\/\/bikepacking.com\/routes\/bikepacking-morocco-route-of-caravans\/\">Route of Caravans<\/a> start in Tiznit en komt door Tafraoute. Hij is 1.236 kilometer lang en voor 70 procent onverhard. De maker raadt het voorjaar of de herfst aan, en op sommige stukken zijn water en eten schaars. Voor een winterweek zijn dagtochten vanuit Tafraoute dus de beste keuze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" data-credit=\"\u00a9 Hans-J\u00fcrgen Weinhardt \/ Unsplash\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marokko-atlas-bergweg-unsplash-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Bergweg door het Atlasgebergte, Marokko\" class=\"wp-image-34589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marokko-atlas-bergweg-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marokko-atlas-bergweg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marokko-atlas-bergweg-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marokko-atlas-bergweg-unsplash-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marokko-atlas-bergweg-unsplash-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/marokko-atlas-bergweg-unsplash.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Hans-J\u00fcrgen Weinhardt \/ Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"antalya\">2. Turkije: Antalya, Kemer en het Taurusgebergte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antalya haalt in december gemiddeld 16,7 graden, met ruim 2.800 zonuren per jaar, en er gaan de hele winter volop vluchten naartoe. De profploegen zitten vooral in de sporthotels van Belek. Rijd daarom naar het westen: vanuit Kemer klim je in zo&#8217;n 25 kilometer van zeeniveau naar de hoogvlakte van Ovac\u0131k, op ongeveer 1.300 meter. Rustiger nog is \u00c7\u0131ral\u0131, een dorp aan een lang strand bij de ru\u00efnes van Olympos, met de klim naar Beycik vlak achter de deur. Op de hoogvlakte liggen ook grindwegen voor wie wil graven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alles over klimmen, routes en uitvalsbases staat op onze pagina <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/bestemmingen\/turkije\/antalya\">Antalya en de Turkse Rivi\u00e8ra<\/a>.

West-Cyprus: Paphos en het Troodos-gebergte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paphos haalt in december gemiddeld 19,3 graden en ruim 3.300 zonuren per jaar. Vanaf de kust klim je het Troodos-gebergte in, tot de Olympos op 1.952 meter, waar in de winter soms sneeuw ligt. Het schiereiland Akamas in het noordwesten is ruig en stil. Let op: op Cyprus rijd je links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kreta\">4. Zuid-Kreta: Ierapetra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ierapetra noemt zichzelf de zuidelijkste stad van Europa, en dat merk je: in december gemiddeld 17,8 graden en ruim 3.100 zonuren per jaar. Langs de zuidkust rijd je over rustige wegen langs de Libische Zee; landinwaarts klim je het Dikti-gebergte in, richting de Lasithi-hoogvlakte. Boven kan het in de winter koud en nat zijn.

Almer\u00eda: Cabo de Gata en de woestijn van Tabernas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De zonnigste hoek van het Spaanse vasteland: het vliegveld van Almer\u00eda meet ruim 3.000 zonuren per jaar en in december gemiddeld 17,9 graden. Ten oosten van de stad ligt het natuurpark Cabo de Gata-N\u00edjar, een vulkanische kust met witte dorpjes en kustweggetjes waar in de winter bijna niemand rijdt. In het binnenland fiets je door de woestijn van Tabernas, waar ooit de spaghettiwesterns werden opgenomen. Zin in een echte klim? De weg naar het observatorium van Calar Alto in de Sierra de los Filabres gaat tot ruim 2.100 meter. Check in de winter wel de sneeuw en het weer boven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"costa-tropical\">7. De Costa Tropical en de Sierra Nevada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tussen M\u00e1laga en Almer\u00eda ligt de Costa Tropical, met Motril en Almu\u00f1\u00e9car. In december is het hier gemiddeld 18,6 graden aan zee. Het mooie: vanaf de kust klim je de uitlopers van de Sierra Nevada in, richting Lanjar\u00f3n en de witte dorpen van de Alpujarras. Hoger dan zo&#8217;n 1.500 meter wordt het in de winter fris, en de wegen naar de top van de Sierra Nevada zijn dan niet te doen.
