East of Side
Horse riding from Çenger
Çenger sits past Kızılot, at the far eastern end of our pickup run — the tenth area on the list, and the only one with no hotel directory behind it.
Çenger is a bookable pickup area, and the return drive is inside the €40 exactly as it is from every other one. An hour on horseback, and about 3 hours between walking out of your hotel and walking back into it. One thing here works differently from the other nine areas: the booking form has no hotel list for Çenger, so you type the name in yourself. The time we come for you is settled with the booking, not printed here.
| Rider | Age 11 and over | €40 |
|---|---|---|
| Child rider | Age 2 to 10 — the same fare as an adult | €40 |
| Hotel transfer | Return journey from the Side resort areas | Included |
| Time in the saddle | About 3 hours door to door | About 1 hour |
One fare per rider: a child aged 2 to 10 pays the same €40. You pay at the riding centre on the day; nothing is taken online.
The last name on the run
Take the pickup areas from the western end and they read Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Side, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç, Kızılot — and then Çenger. Ten of them, and Çenger is the tenth.
That is an order, not a timetable. Where a hotel falls in the list and what time a vehicle reaches it are two separate things, and only the first of them is written down anywhere — which is why no clock appears on this page.
The fare does not change this far east
€40 a rider, with a child paying what an adult pays, wherever on that run your hotel happens to sit. Coming last on the list adds nothing to the price and coming first would take nothing off it: one fare, with the return drive counted inside it rather than added afterwards.
From Çenger the money covers what it covers everywhere else: a helmet for every rider, an hour's guided riding on pine-forest tracks and along a stretch of Mediterranean shoreline, and a guide in the saddle alongside the group throughout. The exact route is the riding centre's call on the day, because weather, ground and the horses come first. Riders are 2 and over, nothing is paid until you are at the centre on the day, and calling a booking off 24 hours or more beforehand costs nothing.
You type your hotel here, you do not pick it from a list
Çenger is the only one of the ten where that is so. The other nine have a hotel directory behind them, so a few letters into the field bring the name up; there is no Çenger directory to draw on, so the field has nothing to offer and waits for you to finish typing.
It has always been a free-text field, so write the hotel the way your own hotel booking spells it and carry on. Nothing else about the booking changes — same fare, same conditions, and no extra approval standing between you and a date. We read the name you give us rather than matching it against a list.

Questions guests ask
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes, from the ten Side resort areas — Gündoğdu through Side itself and east as far as Kızılot and Çenger. Your exact pickup time depends on which hotel you are in, and it is sent to you before the day.
How much does horse riding in Side cost?
€40 per rider for the standard hour, and a child pays the same as an adult. Return transfer from your hotel in the Side area is included in that. You pay at the riding centre on the day — nothing is taken online when you book.
When do I pay, and can I cancel?
Payment happens at the riding centre, on the day itself. Call off a booking any time up to 24 hours beforehand and it costs you nothing.
What should I wear?
Long, comfortable trousers and closed shoes you can walk in. Leave the flip-flops, sandals and anything with a heel at the hotel, and skip loose scarves or anything that flaps.
