Equine Adventures has last minute availability on a 7-day horse-riding holiday through Turkey’s ancient Cappadocia, a fantasyland of ‘fairy chimneys’ rock formations, frescoed rock-hewn churches, troglodyte villages and beautiful valleys, departing London 5th October 2008.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 the magnificent Red, White and Pigeon valleys, meandering within canyons, crossing moon-like plateaux, visiting isolated villages and historical remnants en route. At night, experience legendary Turkish hospitality in a handpicked selection of characterful Anatolian guesthouses. Horses are well-schooled, sure-footed Arabs and Barbe-Arabs. A support vehicle transports luggage and equipment, while a packhorse is used to carry picnic lunches and small items during the rides.
The tour costs £625 p/p including transfers from Kayseri airport, guesthouse accommodation, most meals, horse and tack plus expert guiding.
