Horse Riding Holidays in Turkey
Turkey boasts a unique geographical position, being situated in both Europe and Asia. Situated at the crossroads of the Balkans, Caucasus, Middle East, and eastern Mediterranean, it provides varied riding holidays, from beach riding on the Blue Coast to riding amongst the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia.
Wild Cappadocia
Leaving from Guzelyurt ranch, the trail takes you around the South of Cappadocia. From the peasants’ Cappadocia to the most beautiful valleys, a succession of fantastic rock formations, lush canyons, high plateaux, steppe-like landscape, along with vineyards and orchards, compose asurprisingly varied route. Overlooked by the Mont Hassan, the villages reflect the Anatolian way of life while frescoed churches and other troglodytic treasures testify of the rich past of the area.
Blue Coast Trail
Discover Turkey’s Mediterranean southern coast where you’ll ride on beaches, through forests and across rivers on endurance-trained Arabs. As well as long canters and steep riding there are boat trips across stunning lagoons, a visit to a turtle sanctuary and opportunities for swimming.
