Walking is an adventure anywhere, but in Cappadocia it is extra exciting, there are several peaks to climb, and numberless inviting trails. Cappadocia is a paradise both for the stroller, and the ardent trekker.       We run walks of 7 day duration through the summer months and day walks on demand several times a week. These are grade A-B. Groups do not exceed 12 people, with a minimum of 5. Please contack us for our programmes.

      For the more experienced...
      MOUNT ERCÝYES TREK.
      Erciyes, classical Mt. Argeus, rises straight uf dominating the Kayseri plain, seeming even higher then it is at 3917 metres. Erciyes is an extinct volcano with several secondary cones, and snow above 2500 metres all year round. We run 3 day treks to Erciyes. Please apply with your experience level, for us to arrange your trek programme.

      An easier mountain.....HASANDAG TREK
      Though a less majestic looking mountain than its relative to the north-west, Hasandag, at 3260 metres, holds more interest/-value for the walker. Dove runs an overnight excursion. DAY ONE. We leave the Dove Office in Göreme at 8 am. To travel to Ihlara. We walk the length of the canyon, pausing for a picnic lunch at Belisýrma. Then continue to relax in a pension on the slopes of Mt. Hasan. We rise at midnight for the ascent, with the aid of the moon, or a torch! We watch the sunrise from the peak, and take a walk in the crater.....stil sofst ash. Our descent is by a more stony route to reach 2000 metres, where shepherd families invite us in for breakfast. The tree-line starts at 1500 metres. The antique city of Nora, and several other Roman settlements lie on our route. At base-camp, we partake of a trout lunch, fresh ut of the lake, to return to the Dove Office by 6 pm.

      HORSERIDING IN CAPPADOCIA
      Cappadocia is one of the best places in Turkey for horse-riding, and indeed the area was celebrated for its steadrs in Roman times. Our horses are half-bread Arabs, and tackle is French or Turkish. We run day trips, and also have a week-long riding programme. Please contact us for further details.  

      One of the best ways to get away from bustle of big cities and stress of work is to escape into the wilderness. This desire has caused the rapid development of a tourism known as nature tourism.
