Day 1: Arrival – Welcome to the Land of Beautiful Horses

Your adventure begins the moment you land at either Kayseri Erkilet Airport or Nevşehir Cappadocia Airport. A private shuttle will be waiting to greet you and take you to our charming boutique hotel in Avanos, the heart of Horse Riding Cappadocia.

After check-in, take some time to relax in your room or enjoy a short walk along the Red River (Kızılırmak), exploring local pottery shops and cafés.

As the evening falls, we’ll come together for a welcome dinner where you’ll meet your tour guide and fellow riders — the perfect start to your unforgettable Cappadocia horseback experience.

Day 2: Göreme Valleys – Riding Through Fairy Chimneys

After breakfast, we saddle up for our first full riding day!

Our journey begins from Göreme, leading us through the magical landscapes of Kılıçlar Valley, Girls Monastery, and Güllüdere (Rose Valley) — each known for their mystical rock formations and pastel-colored cliffs.

We’ll pause for a picnic lunch among the fairy chimneys, then continue toward Paşabağ (Monks Valley) and Devrent (Imagination Valley), where the rocks resemble animals and mythical figures.

The ride ends with a mesmerizing view over Kızılçukur Valley (Red Valley), glowing in shades of red and gold as the sun sets.

Day 3: Sunrise Ride & Free Time

Wake up early for a once-in-a-lifetime experience — a two-hour sunrise horse ride beneath the hot air balloons. As the first light touches the valleys, the sight of hundreds of balloons floating above you creates pure magic.

After breakfast, enjoy free time to relax, explore the local markets, or visit Avanos’ pottery workshops.

In the evening, we’ll gather for dinner at the hotel and share the morning’s unforgettable memories.

Today’s route takes us through Aşk Vadisi (Love Valley) — famous for its unique rock pillars — toward the ancient village of Uçhisar, where we’ll explore Uçhisar Castle, Cappadocia’s highest point offering panoramic views of the region.

After a picnic lunch with scenic views, we continue our ride through Görkündere and the peaceful Zemi Valley, surrounded by lush vegetation and winding trails.

We return to the hotel in the evening for a well-deserved dinner.
