Cappadocia horse safari is a peaceful ride to witness the breathtaking views of the famous rock formations, valleys, and fairy chimneys.
There are many horse riding safaris for the discerning tourist, but a ride through the volcanic landscape of Cappadocia, with its fairy chimneys and cave houses, is like nothing you may have experienced before. The landscape of Cappadocia is so unique with its underground cities and lunar landscape, you might be forgiven for believing you were riding on another planet.
You will ride through Sword Valley, one of the narrowest routes, through the Red and Rose Valleys and visit Cavusin Village with its houses carved into the rocks. Cappadocia is such a visual feast that you may forget your otherworldly life, at least for the duration of your trek. It is not a simple coincidence that Cappadocia means land of horses in the old Persian language as you see that discovering the area on your four legged steed really is a unique way to make your way through the landscape. This is a ride that will transfix you and stay indelibly in your memory.
