Horse Riding in the Valleys of Cappadocia
Description
The best way to see the spectacular rock formations, ancient vineyards and abundant orchards of Cappadocia is from the saddle of an Anatolian horse! The ancient Persian was named Cappadocia, “Katpatuka”, means “Land of Beautiful Horses” and for thousands of years the many settlers of this region have explored the remote valleys and canyons on horseback. Horseback is really nice activity in Cappadocia. You can ride horse through the valleys, looking at all the interesting rock formations and gardens/vineyards/orchards on horseback – much easier than walking. The horses are in pretty good condition. Cappadocia was known as Katpatuka; “land of beautiful horses.” Here’s your opportunity to explore all this wonderful wonders on horseback with our rides ranging from 2 hours to 9 days. Enjoy !

The itinerary states seeing 3 different areas (red valley rose valley and villlage) none of this besides rose valley was announced to us and it was not informative at all - it was just screamed at us that rose valley is there. We didn’t stop for photos in each spot as mentioned in itinerary. Tour guides spoke very little English. The group was way too big like 30 people so the tour was slow and boring. Not organized well my husband and I were separeted for a good part of the tour until they had to put us together again and the horses they put us on fought so we couldn’t be too close? I would unfortunately not recommend booking with this tour.
There is no guide on any of the horseback tours. We do not specify the group size; our group size is determined based on the reservations made that day.You also booked a 2-hour tour and our tour lasted more than 2 hours, and we are very sorry that you stated that you did not like the tour.
An unforgettable experience! I absolutely loved the sunset views, the kindness of the staff, and the free transfer was a great bonus. But the best part? My sweet horse, Caramel – calm, gentle, and perfect for the ride. Thank you, Highline Cappadocia Travel!
Thank you very much for your comment for us and it was a pleasure to host you. Hope to see you again in Cappadocia as soon as possible🙂
What an amazing experience- from booking agent to van driver to trail guide everything went so smoothly. I had such an amazing adventure with them. The scenery in the valleys were gorgeous and our guide was fun - he also paused and took pictures/videos for us and then again later took us up to a great viewpoint to bask in the glory and if you want you can purchase some fresh pressed orange, pomegranate or coconut juice/water. Overall: amazing adventure! Tips: wear pants and close toed shoes. I saw several people in shorts and while it was hot - they were uncomfortable sitting in a saddle with shorts on. A small bottle of water is not a bad idea and if you get sneezy from dust a small thing of tissues could be helpful. Thanks again for an awesome time!

We had a great time riding through the valleys! For all of us, it was the first time riding a horse and the brief training they gave at the start was helpful and succinct! Once we started riding, the friendly handlers always kept a close eye on all of us and made sure we were doing okay. The horses were of course beautifully trained, and the views were completely stunning. Would definitely recommend!

nice placid well looked after horses and great trail ride. Only disappointment was our horses were so slow and wanting to stop all the time needing someone to continuously push them along. Still a fantastic ride..
Thank you very much for your comment and our horses are trained for tour only and they are definitely trained to go slow and all horses are still being trained in this regard and we look forward to seeing you again in Cappadocia soon:)
Riding through the valleys during sunrise was amazing, with all the hot air balloons going up. Our guides took some great pictures. And the horses were great.
