Istanbul is famous for its mosques and palaces, yet the countryside beyond the city offers a completely different experience: open farmland, green woods, rough ground, softly rolling slopes and even sandy stretches by the sea. This four-day package is built around two separate riding sessions in those landscapes, each lasting a full two hours, with plenty of free time in the city in between. It suits beginners as well as confident riders, because the stables offer tracks of different difficulty and riders from the age of three can take part.
The programme is simple and relaxed. On arrival you are met at Istanbul Airport and driven to your hotel, where you collect your room key and spend the rest of the day as you wish. On the second and third mornings, after breakfast, you are transferred from the hotel to the riding area. You can pick the level of track that matches your experience, or let the riding masters choose the most suitable route and horse for you. A tour assistant accompanies the transfers, and after each ride you return to the hotel with the afternoon and evening free for your own sightseeing. On the fourth day breakfast is followed by check-out and the transfer back to the airport.
Included in the price are three nights of hotel accommodation in Istanbul, three breakfasts, a total of four hours of horse riding with transfers, a professional meet-and-greet service, arrival and departure airport transfers, English-speaking assistance, entrance fees mentioned in the programme, VAT and hotel taxes. Flights and insurance are not included. This package works well for couples, friends and families who want to add an outdoor activity to a short stay in Istanbul, or for riders who simply want two unhurried days in the saddle close to the city.

Our representative meets you at Istanbul International Airport and accompanies your transfer to the hotel. Once you have checked in and received your room key, the rest of the day is free. You may want to take a first walk around your neighbourhood, try a local restaurant or simply rest after the journey before the riding days ahead. Overnight in Istanbul.
After breakfast at the hotel you are driven out of the city to the riding area. Here you choose a track suited to your level, from easy routes for first-time riders to more demanding ones for experienced riders, or the riding masters select the best option for you. The session lasts a full two hours through the countryside outside Istanbul. Afterwards you are transferred back to the hotel and the rest of the day is yours. Overnight in Istanbul.
Following breakfast, another transfer takes you to the riding area for your second two-hour ride. Having already ridden once, you can stay on a familiar track or try a different level if you feel ready. When the session ends you return to your hotel, with the afternoon and evening free to explore Istanbul at your own pace. Overnight in Istanbul.
Enjoy your last breakfast in Istanbul, then check out of the hotel. At the agreed time you are transferred to Istanbul Airport for your flight home, bringing this short riding holiday to an end.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized β from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
