Went with my 3 kids yesterday and we fell in love with the whole atmosphere!! Visiting the valleys in Cappadocia is a must, but doing it while horse riding is a whole different experience. It wasn’t our first horse riding, so I was a bit comfortable with the idea. The instructors explained everything for us and then we started riding along a beautiful valley. There are so many things to see, I didn’t want this to finish! Kids were happy and smiley all the time. We were blessed to witness an unbelievable sunset and of course we took many photos!
