The ride begins at a low-slung stable where the breeze off the Mediterranean threads through the pine canopy and the horses shift impatiently, eager to move. You mount for a one-hour route that threads sandy tracks along Titreyengöl lagoon and into the Sorgun pine forest, the trees leaning in as if to watch you pass.

The ride begins at a low-slung stable where the breeze off the Mediterranean threads through the pine canopy and the horses shift impatiently, eager to move. You mount for a one-hour route that threads sandy tracks along Titreyengöl lagoon and into the Sorgun pine forest, the trees leaning in as if to watch you pass.
This coastline has layered history: Side was a major Greco‑Roman port, and the surrounding land has long supported orchards and timber. Geologically the coast is a calm shelf of limestone and coastal alluvium, and the pine stand sits on stabilized dunes that slow the wind and hold shade. Local equestrian culture is informal and practical — small riding centers catering to resort guests, with experienced handlers who read a horse’s mood at a glance.
Expect a steady, accessible pace suitable for beginners and competent riders alike. Terrain is mainly packed sand and soft forest tracks with occasional shallow ruts; elevation change is negligible. The forest will feel alive — wind pushing through needles, a flock of finches darting ahead, and the lagoon daring you to pause for a view.
Practical guidance: arrive early to avoid midday heat, wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, and hydrate well. Helmets are provided and basic instruction is available; mention any medical or pregnancy restrictions when booking. Plan for transfers, and allow time afterward to visit Side’s ruins or the beach if you want to extend the day.
