Horseback Riding in Turkey

Experience the stunning landscape of Cappadocia on a tour that avoids the crowds. See the rock sculptures of Love Valley during a leisurely hike, then spend one hour riding horses in Sword Valley. Have lunch at a charming restaurant then stop into a weaving workshop before ending your tour by sipping wine while watching the sunset. Your guide shares commentary throughout the day on a tour that includes private guide and vehicle, lunch, activities, bottle of wine, and hotel or port pickup and drop-off.

See Cappadocia's valleys, orchards, and vineyards on horseback with a 2-hour sunset trail ride on an Anatolian or Arabian horse. Ride scenic trails with a Turkish cowboy guide, and enjoy views of the landscape during the 'golden hour' that's perfect for photography. This tour includes pickup and drop-off at Cappadocia hotels.

Mount up for a scenic 3-hour horseback ride from Alanya and enjoy stunning views as you ride through the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, passing banana plantations, pine forests and the ruins of the ancient city of Syedra. This small-group tour is suitable for all levels, including first-time riders.

Spend 2 hours exploring the valleys of Göreme National Park on horseback. Choose between sunrise, sunset, and full moon tours. Watch hot air balloons fill the sky at dawn, see the sun set over the rocks of the Rose Valley, or sip a glass of wine under the full moon. This customizable tour can be tailored to suit your schedule and comfort level.

Enjoy an alternative way to explore Patara when you book a horseback riding tour of the national park. Pick between morning and afternoon tour times, and set off directly from your Kalkan accommodation. Head first to the stables, where you'll meet your horse and will be briefed on basic safety techniques. Then, begin your ride through the region's lovely scenery. Pass through pine forests and sand dunes, and head to Patara Beach. Take a swimming break, if you wish, before beginning your return ride back to the stables.
