Myself and 3 friends went to Turkey for a week's riding holday at the establishment next door to Dortnal; 'Marmaris Horse/Country Club'. Thank Goodness we found Dortnal; the horses were in great condition, the owners are very professional and clearly put their horses first, and we had a great ride out in to the hills. Beware of marmaris horse club...... More

I took my daughter and two granddaughters for a surprise beginners lesson in July 2011. They all had an amazing time on their first riding lessons from scratch, and ended with a 20 min led ride into the nearby hills. Since then we have been back three times and their riding progress was amazing. On return to UK they have... More

Just started horse riding a few months ago so after a search on the Internet this was the place to go. We had an excellent hack out for over two hours which involved a lot of rising trot (thank you Denise) another tourist from uk who has been here several times and tried to wear out my little legs. We... More

I was looking for a riding experience in Turkey, and found Dortnal Ranch on the Marmaris Things to Do website. Feli contacted me immediately and was informative and timely in all her correspondence. We were on a cruise, and she made all the arrangements for pickup and return, as well as arranging a biking tour afterwards. The ranch was lovely,... More

We had 5 days riding program, both lessons and safaris, totally about 10 hours of riding. Facility is very nice. The owners Salih and Felis are very friendly and professional. Same kind of hospitality and flexibility we have not met in any other stables in tourist places - and we have visited about ten different stables during recent years. And... More

Having been on most of the usual excursions in Turkey before (Jeep Safari, Quad bikes, Boat trips etc) we wanted to do something a bit different. Having looked on Trip Advisor prior to setting off there we found the Dortnal Ranch and went there based on the reviews being good. We were not dissappointed. The staff are friendly, know their...

I traveled to Marmaris last month to visit my boyfriend (who's ship was stopping into port there). It was off-season so it was kinda hard to find things to do but I lucked out and stumbled upon Dortnal Ranch. I found them through the dolphin center's recommendation (they collaborate for children therapy, I believe). I called & spoke with Phylis... More

We booked this dierectly with the ranch as we heard that this was one of the only places in Marmaris where the horses are treated well. This seemed to be the case and the staff told us that the horses are not taken out during the peak temperature times. Service was great as we were picked up by car in... More
