Horseback Riding in Cappadocia – Through Timeless Valleys and Ancestral Paths
Horseback riding in Cappadocia is more than a scenic activity it is a quiet journey into the soul of a land shaped by nature and tradition. From the moment you mount your horse and step into the silent rhythm of the valleys, you begin to feel something older than memory.
A belief passed down for generations suggests that the name Cappadocia comes from Katpatukya, an ancient Persian word meaning “Land of Beautiful Horses.” Though the origin is still debated, the deep connection between the region and horses remains undeniable.
