The horses are trained- for lessons in the yard, there are two jumping horses and three horses which they use only for trail rides.

İ think everybody can find a horses for his riding level.

Dortnal Ranch does a lot of children riding, in summer mostly with handicaped kids but in winter the local children from marmaris have a regular ride.

They use a shetland pony which even 3-6 year old kids can groom and bigger ponies for children rides.

Thanks to the above, I visited Dortnal Ranch this week and was really pleased with what I saw and the horse riding lesson I had with a professional and experienced horse rider and trainer. The horses all seem in good condition and enjoy a good standard of living. The horse was specially chosen, (good temperament etc for someone who hasn't riden properly since childhood) for me to suit my needs.The owners are very friendly and helpful and the location is beautiful at this (winter) time of year when everywhere is green.

Whilst staying at Marmaris, we paid 25 Turkish Lira each for a full day jeep safari ,including lunch. We were unlucky enough to get the worst driver I have ever encountered in my life !! .

He took unecesary risks whilst driving on the main road, indeed he almost collided with one vehicle whilst stupidly overtaking around a blind bend.

I complained more than once but this fell on deaf ears untill he eventually succeeded in breaking the suspension whilst travelling at speed in off road conditions.

I would recommend choosing your driver wisely if you get the chance and also pick the jeep with the most children onboard as these tended to travel at much lower speeds.

We expected a pleasant day out amongst fantastic scenery, exploring off road mountain tracks, waterfalls and rural villages; what we got was a white knuckle ride with no seat belts with a nutter as a driver and to top it off they handed water guns ( extra cost,,,) out and within 5 mins everyone was drenched which pretty much was the way the day continued.

I personally would not risk my life again on a Jeep safari unless I had absolute proof of the drivers competence.

Good luck , you may need it !!!!!.

I had a turkish bath at the Sun Love Hotel, Marmaris and it was the most fantastic experience I have had. I am a qualified masseure and I was given a highly skilled massage. It is the best value for money I have ever seen. Highly recommended.

The Armutalan Haman is the largest, cleanest and best - at 28YTL its about £13 for an experience that is out of this world. You can't visit Turkey without one. Do it sooner in your holiday rather than later - it scrubs off all the top flaky layer of your skin so will take off your tan! It does help produce a cleaner, more even holiday tan though!

Dortnal ranch certainly is doing an excellent job

Has anyone ever visited the ranch next door?

Marmaris Horse Riding Club. 2 horses have died there in the last two weeks, one was 3 years old, and its standard of care is diabolical. The horses are worked 4-5 times a day and rides go out at 12 noon & 2pm...the hottest times. The staff are untrained and speak only limited english.I strongly recomend that everyone opt for Dortnal ranch if they wish to ride and avoid Marmaris horse riding club at all costs.
