Itinerary
Day 1: Göreme Sunset Ride (2h)
Arrival. You will be picked up from the airport. After the hotel check-in you will have time to freshen up and walk around the small charming town of Göreme - the heart of Cappadocia. Before sunset we will pick you up from our partner hotel and take you to the ranch where you will meet the horses. Every rider will be matched with their horse for the trek and we will embark on a sunset ride around around Sword Valley, which got its name from the fairy chimneys that look like swords. During this ride we also cover the Cappadocian Classics Red Valley and Rose Valley. This ride is meant to be a “test ride” to see if everyone feels good on the horse they are matched with. You have the chance to change your horse on Day 2, before we go on our long ride. After the 2H sunset ride we will have dinner at the ranch.
Starting time of the ride: Late afternoon before sunset
Day 2: Cavusin town & Castle & Mount Karadag(6h)
We are riding to the historical charming town of Çavuşin - which is one of the oldest towns in Cappadocia - all the way up to its famous cave castle. On top of the castle we have a panoramic view of the town, Red Valley and Sword Valley. From there we will ride along a far beyond the touristy route to the beautiful remote Mount Karadağ. A very special place because Mount Karadağ is actually one of the three volcanic mountains that had once contributed to the unique formation of Cappadocia! The views, historical monuments and canter opportunities here are spectacular. This route is very off the beaten track and remote. We take individual gallop videos of everyone here with the beautiful canyon like background. Inbetween we have a lunch picnic with a scenic panoramic view. After the ride has finished we drive you back to the hotel and you are free until we pick you up again for dinner at the ranch in the evening.
Starting time of the ride: 10am
Day 3: Uchisar town, Zemi Valley & Turkish Hamam Spa Experience(5h)
On the third day we will ride towards the beautiful ancient town of Uçhisar where the famous Uçhisar Castle is located. On our way to Uçhisar we will ride through Zemi Valley which has an extremely scenic view far away from the typical tourist sites and the stresses of daily life. Zemi Valley is filled with silence and calmness covered with many trees. A personal favorite and an absolute hidden gem in Cappadocia as not many people come here. Far off the beaten trek we will have lunch with a direct view of Uçhisar Castle. We also ride to Pigeon Valley which got its name from all the tiny pigeon houses that have been carved into the stone over the years. After the ride has finished we drive you back to the hotel. Towards the evening get ready for the ultimate Turkish Spa Experience as we have booked you a traditional hamam session where you can get a massage and bath after 3 days of riding. On this evening there won't be dinner provided at the ranch so you are free to explore the cuisine of Göreme by yourself for dinner.
Starting time of the ride: 10am
Day 4: Sunrise at Love Valley & Departure (2h)
This day will be a special ride because we wake up before sunrise to ride under 150 hot air balloons in famous Love Valley. Our personal favorite valley to watch the hot air balloons rise. The balloons get so close in Love Valley that you can almost high five the people inside the basket. We will have to navigate through all the wedding proposals and wedding photoshoots as Love Valley is without a doubt the most romantic and photogenic place in Cappadocia. After sunrise we take you back to the hotel where you can enjoy your last breakfast and after Check-Out our driver will be ready to take you to the airport depending on when your flight departs.
Starting time of the ride: Before the sun rises early in the morning
