Our 3 Day Horseback Riding Tour is the ideal way to discover Cappadocia’s valleys, fairy chimneys and hidden churches in a slow, authentic and natural way. Instead of rushing from viewpoint to viewpoint by bus, you ride through the heart of the landscape, following old shepherd paths and village tracks that have been used for centuries.

On the first day we follow the road that leads up to the Göreme Open Air Museum and then turn onto the small tracks heading into Swords Valley (Kılıçlar Vadisi) and around the historic Girls Monastery. Over the next two days you continue through Love Valley, Babacık Canyon, Pigeon Valley, Rose and Red Valley, visiting traditional villages such as Ibrahimpasa, Karlık and Karacaören on the way. You ride between vineyards, orchards and tuff rock formations, stopping for panoramic views and local lunches in small town squares.

Groups are kept small so that the guide can adapt the pace to the riders and the horses. In the evenings you stay in cosy cave-style accommodation or on our farm, enjoy home-cooked Cappadocian dishes and share stories with other riders around the table. This program is suitable for riders who are comfortable at walk and trot in open spaces and who want a real connection with the land, the horses and the local culture.

During these three days you will not only see the famous postcard views of Cappadocia, but also quiet valleys, forgotten chapels and rural life that most visitors never get to experience. It is a perfect combination of adventure, nature and Anatolian hospitality.
