Horse Riding in Alanya | Taurus Mountains Nature & Syedra Ancient City
Horse riding in Alanya is a relaxing nature-and-culture experience in the pine forests of the Taurus Mountains. You’ll ride along peaceful trails, enjoy fresh mountain air, and also visit the impressive Syedra Ancient City—a perfect choice for travelers who want something calm, scenic, and different from the beach.
Beginners are welcome. Before the ride, you’ll receive a short theoretical briefing and a practical warm-up at the start of the trail. The horses at the farm are selected to be calm and suitable for first-time riders, and instructors accompany the group throughout the tour.
The horse farm is close to Alanya and easy to reach.
The horse farm is located east of Alanya, around the Seki Village area. Travel time from Alanya center is usually about 25–35 minutes, depending on traffic and the route. If hotel transfer is included, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and dropped off again after the tour.
Green trails and pine forests make the riding route truly refreshing.
The riding route follows green paths through red pine forests and between orchards. The cool mountain breeze, birdsong, and forest scent create a calm, “switch-off” feeling from the very beginning.
The farm sits on a wide, green area surrounded by pine trees. Nearby you can also see banana gardens and greenhouses—an interesting look at Mediterranean flora and local tropical fruits grown in the region.
This tour is not about speed. It’s designed for a comfortable pace so you can enjoy the scenery and nature. The route is far from the city, so you’ll rarely hear any traffic noise.
Panoramic views: Taurus valleys and the Mediterranean in one frame.
The farm is positioned near viewpoints where you can see the area from above. During horse riding in Alanya, you may enjoy wide views of the green Taurus valleys to the north and the blue Mediterranean Sea to the south.
If you love taking photos, you’ll capture plenty of great moments on this trip. Photos on horseback with the landscape behind you are a beautiful addition to your holiday memories.
Explore Syedra Ancient City on horseback.
Located about 400 meters above sea level and surrounded by ancient walls, Syedra Ancient City turns this experience into more than just a nature ride. With a history of nearly 2,900 years, Syedra features remarkable remains such as mosaics, baths, city gates, old streets, and an ancient theatre.
In some parts of the site, you can choose to get off the horse and explore on foot. There is enough time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere without rushing.
About Syedra Ancient City
Syedra is considered one of the largest ancient settlements around Alanya and is often linked to the western edge of the Cilicia region. Archaeological studies suggest the city was founded around the 7th century BC. It was developed further in the Roman era and is known to have minted its own coins.
Inscriptions found during research indicate that Syedra was an important center with sporting events and public games. Studies of the remains suggest wooden structures were widely used in the city’s architecture, possibly to shade busy streets and public areas from the sun.
Visiting Syedra as part of horse riding in Alanya gives you the best of both worlds: peaceful nature and a touch of history in the same day. If you want a tour that feels calm, scenic, and meaningful, this one is a great match.
