Sunrise Ride Through Cappadocia's Valleys, Hotel to Hotel
A driver collects you from your hotel in Cappadocia while it is still dark, so you reach the stables in time to mount up before first light. The exact pickup hour shifts with the season, since it is timed to sunrise.
Once you are matched with a horse and fitted with a helmet, your guide leads the group out on quiet trails through Kiliclar Valley, Meskendir Valley, Rose Valley, and Love Valley. As the light comes up you will see the fairy chimneys and carved rock formations these valleys are known for, and most mornings the hot air balloons are already in the air above you, which makes for good photos from horseback.
The ride itself lasts about 2 hours at a relaxed pace. When it ends, you are driven back to your hotel.
