The Cappadocia SUNRISE horse riding tour starts from the KADOST horse farm in Göreme. Suitable horses are selected for the participants. Participants are shown how to ride a horse. Riding lessons are given on horseback riding.
To begin the tour, the horses form a single line, and the Cappadocia horseback riding tour begins. In the morning, as hot air balloons take off, our horseback riding continues among the balloons. We take a photo and video break with the balloons in the valley. During the tour, our guests ride their horses through dozens of balloons in the magical atmosphere of Cappadocia. Our Cappadocia sunrise horseback riding tour continues along the Kılıçlar Valley. The tour continues with visits to the Kızlar Monastery, Güllü Valley, and the Kızılçukur Panorama area.
ABOUT OUR HORSE RIDING TOUR IN CAPPADOCIA AND THE VALLEY OF SWORDS
About Cappadocia: It is a region formed 60 million years ago by the erosion of soft layers created by the lava and ash erupted from Mount Erciyes, Mount Hasandağı, and Mount Göllüdağ over millions of years by rain and wind.
About the Valley of Swords: After passing Gorkündere, Zemi Valley, and the Open-Air Museum, the Valley of Swords, the second part of Göreme, begins. It is 15 minutes from the center of Göreme and 7 km from Ortahisar. Starting from the point where the Open-Air Museum is located, the Valley of Swords extends to the town of Çavuşin.
Starting from the Göreme Open Air Museum, the Swords Valley is one of the most central valleys in Cappadocia. Bounded by the Göreme Open Air Museum on one side and the Güllüdere Valley on the other, the valley has a total length of approximately 3 kilometers. Motor vehicles and cars are prohibited from entering certain areas of the Swords Valley. You can explore the entire Swords Valley in Cappadocia with horseback riding tours.
The Valley of Swords is one of the most beautiful valleys in Göreme. It is also the valley from which hot air balloons take off in Cappadocia. A tunnel reaching 30 meters in length, fairy chimneys of various structures, and old churches are located within the valley. The dovecotes and beehives still in use add a unique atmosphere to the Valley of Swords. While the valley narrows in places, following the Swords Stream, which gives the valley its name, leads to a small canyon consisting of long, closely spaced walls. Our Cappadocia horse tours take place on the trails between these routes. A horse tour of the entire valley takes approximately 1 hour. The historical ruins of the Girls' Monastery within the valley are one of the most exciting points of interest on the horse tour. If you wish to participate in longer horse tours, you can extend your tour to a 2-hour route including the Valley of Roses and the Valley of Red Crescent by consulting with guides. You can stop at stalls selling freshly squeezed pomegranate and orange juice, which have a doping effect, within the valley. During our tours at sunrise, hot air balloons will accompany you as you admire the beauty of the Valley of Swords on horseback.
The Valley of the Swords, unlike the crowded group of churches in the Göreme Open Air Museum, is home to a distinct group of two churches: the Church of the Swords, which shares the same name as the valley, and the Church of the Virgin Mary.
The horses we use for our Cappadocia horse tours are of Arabian and Turkish origin. These horses have been specially trained for horse tours. They are experienced in dealing with ATV and car noises, as well as hot air balloon sounds. They are also quite experienced in navigating the scenic routes in Cappadocia's conditions.
We do not allow horses to gallop on our horseback riding tours. This is because the Cappadocia tour routes are very narrow. The roads are always winding and constantly ups and downs. There is no sufficient distance for the horse to stop while galloping. And there is always the risk of motor vehicles, people, and other horses suddenly appearing in front of the horse. Therefore, the valleys of Cappadocia are not suitable for galloping. Experienced riders may gallop in certain parts of the valleys as a private tour.
Our Cappadocia horseback riding tour is 1 hour long, but due to time constraints and the extensive number of sights to visit, it may not be enough time to see all the attractions in the Valley of Swords. Therefore, you can also check our horseback riding tours at different times.
