The name 'Cappadocia' is derived from the old Persian name 'Katpatuka', meaning 'The Land of Beautiful Horses', so what better way to explore this land than on horseback? Visitors can enjoy a scenic ride along the banks of the Kizilirmak (Red River), visit the 13th century Caravenseri (road side inn) of Sarihan, ride through Cappadocia's famed fairy chimneys, visit the natural springs at Kalker Lake or enjoy spectacular views from the top of Ziyaret Mountain.

With so many 'must-see' places in Cappadocia, one of the most exciting ways to enjoy this fascinating and historic destination is by via a hot air balloon ride. Travellers will able to enjoy the tranquillity, serenity, and sheer peace and quiet high up above the ground where the breathtaking landscape of Cappadocia unfolds below.Take in the iconic attractions such as the 'fairy chimneys', the stone carved houses and churches, Goreme National Park, the Uchisar and Ortahisar rock fortress, and then view the Red Valley and Soganli Valleys. What could be better than a romantic sunset high above the ground in one of the most mystical destinations in the world?

The coastline along the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea holds a wealth of islands, hidden coves and inlets, rocky peninsulas, bays, and secluded beaches that are ideally explored by yacht. A Blue Voyage, or cruise along Turkey's Aegean or Mediterranean shores, is one of the most favoured ways of seeing the coast.Tours can last from a few days to a few weeks aboard traditional Turkish 'gulets' (sturdy wooden yachts), which can be charted with experienced crews, and well-established marinas provide yachtsmen with the services and provisions they require. Bodrum, Marmaris and Fethiye are the main yacht charter ports.
