From Kesme Boğazı Canyon to the ancient city of Phaselis, from highland forests to turtle nesting beaches, this is a true multi-day horseback riding adventure in Turkey.

Ride the Legendary Eastern Lycian Way on Horseback
Expect a true trail riding expedition across one of the most spectacular coastal regions in Turkey.

You will ride through pine forests of the Taurus Mountains, descend into hidden canyons, cross remote villages and follow historic coastal paths overlooking the Mediterranean. Long forest canters, controlled mountain trots and beach gallops are part of the experience, depending on group level and terrain conditions.
