Both in Greece and Turkey, mountain roads are thankfully open and sometimes tough. The pic is from a road on Kos that narrowed to a singletrack and contained gradients that tested my limits. (If you are wondering about my riding level for comparison, then it's approximately where Aras, Hechlingen and Stehlin aim with their "advanced" courses.)
The difference between the countries is that while in Greece, as mentioned before, even major roads just end in random places, my impression of Turkey is the opposite. Roads always connect to the other side, so if you want to cross a mountain range and find a track going up from the highway, then this track is quite likely to take you all the way to the other side, with multiple branching points, even if it's not on the map. Wonderful place.
Another difference is that tourist towns on the Turkish coast are much more lively than the ones on Rhodos or Kos.
