HORSE-RIDING IN CAPPADOCIA
Equine Adventures has reduced the cost of its 8-day horse-riding holiday in Turkey’s ancient Cappadocia by £120 p/p for departures from Heathrow – 22nd April, 6th & 20th May and 3rd & 17th June 07.
Equine Adventures’ equestrian journey through Cappadocia, a fantasyland of ‘fairy chimneys’ rock formations, frescoed rock-hewn churches, troglodyte villages and beautiful valleys combines an unforgettable mix of exhilarating riding, breathtaking scenery and culture. The name Cappadocia dates back to Persian times, when the region was known as katpatukya meaning 'Land of Beautiful Horses'. Since that time Cappadocia has seen the rise and fall of many different civilisations, relics of which will be encountered during the ride. Cappadocia is rightly famed for its unique geology, shaped by volcanic activity and the effects of erosion and earthquakes. Layers of ash, lava and basalt form the foundations of this unique landscape of massive plateaux, steep cliffs, spectacular canyons, hidden caves and distinctive ‘fairy chimneys’. Spend the days riding through magnificent red, white and pigeon valleys, meandering within canyons, crossing moon-like plateaux, visiting isolated villages and historical remnants en route. 4-nights are spent camping out beneath the stars, enjoying freshly cooked Turkish cuisine around the bonfire, with a further 3-nights in traditional family pensions. Horses are well-schooled, sure-footed Arabs and Barbe-Arabs and riders need to be confident on a breed that’s generally more spirited than most. A support vehicle transports luggage and equipment, while a packhorse is used to carry picnic lunches and small items during the rides.
The tour now costs £775 p/p (normally £895) including scheduled flights, transfers, hotel and camping accommodation, most meals, horse and tack plus expert guiding.
