West of Side
Horse riding from Gündoğdu
Gündoğdu is where the pickup run begins: the western end of it, ahead of Çolaklı, Evrenseki, Kumköy and Side, with the coast unrolling eastwards from there.
Yes, we collect from Gündoğdu, and the transfer is inside the €40 fare. Gündoğdu sits west of Side, at the western end of the pickup run. Your exact time comes with your booking. The ride itself is about an hour in the saddle, with roughly 3 hours door to door.
| 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.
Where Gündoğdu sits on the run
The pickup loop starts here and works its way east, through Çolaklı and Evrenseki to Side and the resorts beyond it. Where a hotel falls on that order is geography, not a timetable — what time the vehicle reaches you is confirmed with your booking.
We do not print a clock time, because it depends on the day's list and on which hotel in Gündoğdu you are in. Your exact pickup time comes with your booking.
What it is like riding from here
Gündoğdu is a quiet stretch of large beachfront resorts with very little between them and the sea, which is exactly why guests staying here go looking for something inland. The riding centre is in that inland country — the pine ground behind the coast road that most people never see from a sun lounger.
It is the same ride, the same horses and the same price as from anywhere else on the strip. Nothing about the fare changes with where you are staying.
Çenger sits at the opposite end of the same run, far to the east past Kızılot. We collect there on the same terms, and it has a page of its own.

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.
How long does it take?
About an hour on horseback. Door to door — collection, the road out, the introductions, the briefing and the road home — allow roughly 3 hours away from your hotel.
Do I need riding experience?
No. Most guests on this ride have never been on a horse. The staff pair you with a suitable horse, explain how to sit, steer and stop, and a guide rides with the group the whole way.
