We believe that our most popular tour has a well-deserved name. Taking its name from the astonishing sunsets of Cappadocia, this tour is definitely a “must-have” on your bucket list. What you can expect to experience in this tour other than the sunset view on horseback is tiny villages of Cappadocia along the way. In the sunset tour, you will ride to Kılıç Valley passing by Göreme village. Here in Kılıç Valley you will have one of the best spots for scenery and photography. On the way to the next stop you will be riding through Kızlar Monastery which is also known as the “Monastery of Nuns”. We are pretty sure that you will be amazed by the pinky shades of the volcanic eruptions in Rose Valley. From here on, you will depart to the sunset spot by giving mini breaks along the way and pass by Love Valley. It is an out-of-the-way destination with scenic sunset views and unique tower-shaped rock formations. Love Valley is located between Avanos and Göreme road and it is named after the interesting fairy chimney formations, and it is popular with the couples for marriage proposals. 

Once you are there, you will be mesmerized by the dramatic sunset and realize that the sun sets in Love Valley like nowhere else. We really hope you will enjoy your time here as much as on the way back to the hotel. Please note that this route is longer than it takes in the usual sunset tour.
