Horse riding on Antalya beaches
Beach gallops and Taurus mountain trail rides.
Antalya offers two flavours of horseback experience — beach gallops at Belek (the Belek National Horseback Riding Centre on the Acısu river estuary has 60+ horses, beach access, all levels) and Taurus mountain trail rides at Kemer (smaller operators, scenic pine-forest trails). 1-hour beach sessions are the most popular.
