Turkey, Antalya – Trail Ride or Riding Sun & Sea

Our elegant ranch has a fantastic location, alone in a lush valley surrounded by beautiful mountains and only a few kilometers from the sea. It is unusual to be so close to the beach, swimming, mountains and culture. Every day there is a free shuttle service to the beach and the turquoise Mediterranean Sea (5-10 min.). If you want to combine beautiful beaches with fun riding this is the place for you. You ride mainly on Arabic and English thoroughbreds.

You can choose from a trail ride where you stay a few nights in mountain villages, or riding a little each day so you have more time for swimming, sunbathing, the beach and shopping.

The ranch is located in a beautiful valley surrounded by gardens and orange and lemon trees. The view to the Taurus Mountains peaking at over 2300 meters (1,500 ft) above sea level is fantastic. For a large part of the year, the Mountains are covered in snow. In the other direction, it is only a few kilometers to the great beaches of the Mediterranean, and about 7 km from the seaside resort of Kemer.

The ranch has a large well-maintained swimming pool and bar / cafe right next to the riding center where you can get drinks and snacks. There is also a very nice restaurant. The riding center is well maintained and has a refined and personal, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Several of the staff speak English, some well good, some not as well.

About 10 minutes by car from the riding center is the resort of Kemer with beaches, lots of hotels, restaurants, bars and shopping.
